Fujifilm Launches X-T5!


 Mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-T5”


Revising X Series’ original value of “compact, lightweight and high image quality” in pursuit for
the joy of analog operation.


FUJIFILM Corporation (President and CEO, Representative Director: Teiichi
Goto) is pleased to announce the launch of the mirrorless digital camera “FUJIFILM X-T5” (X-T5), the latest
addition to the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras known for their compact and lightweight body and superior image quality based on the company’s proprietary color reproduction technology.



The X-T5 features the fifth-generation devices, i.e. the back-illuminated 40.2MP sensor “X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR” and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5,” in its compact body which is smaller and
lighter than the previous model, as well as advanced features including the 5-axis in-body image stabilization
of up to 7.0 stops
 


This is the new standard camera for still photography, delivering superior performance and mobility at the same time.


Performance enhancement achieved in the X-T5 include improved image quality, ISO125 as a standard
sensitivity, the fastest shutter speed of 1/180000 sec and the use of Pixel Shift Multi-Shot to expand
photographic variations. Other features include the Smooth Skin Effect, Subject Detection AF capable of
detecting animals and birds, and AI-based high-precision auto white balance, assisting users in producing
high quality photographic images.

 


The camera inherits X-T Series’ signature Center Viewfinder style and dial operation design. A 1.84-
million-dot three-way tilting LCD screen is a new addition, making it more comfortable than ever before to
shoot in vertical position or at waist level. These extensive array of performance and features is packed
into the 557g body, which is even lighter and more compact than previous model.




 


The X-T5 will be a perfect companion to cover a wide variety of photographic genres from street /
documentary photography, in which its mobility is a major asset, to landscape photography and portraiture,
which demands superior image quality. Other features that add comfort to users’ photo experiences
include the ability to record 10-bit 4:2:2 video at 6.2K/30P, the viewfinder magnification of 0.8x, 3.69-
million-dot EVF and dual SD-card slots.

Fujifilm’s double flagship models “FUJIFILM X-H2S” (released in July) and “FUJIFILM X-H2”
(released in September), which cover both stills and videos, are now complemented with the
X-T5, optimized for stills with features such as the compact lightweight body, three-way tilting
LCD and dial operations. This further broadens visual production genres covered by X Series’
fifth generation. Fujifilm’s enhanced product lineup will continue to cater to the diverse needs
of photographers and video creators.

1. Main product features

1. Featuring the 40MP X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR sensor and the high-speed X-Processor 5 image
processing engine to deliver the highest image quality and resolving performance in the history of
the X Series


(1) The X-T5 features the back-illuminated 40.2MP sensor “X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR.” The use of an improve image processing algorithm delivers advanced image resolution without compromising the S/N ratio to
achieve superior image quality. The X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR sensor can take in more light efficiently thanks
to its improved pixel structure. ISO125, which was an extended ISO level in the previous model, is now available as a standard option. And exposure time is controlled in high precision, allowing users to set the shutter speed as fast as 1/180000 sec. This means large-aperture lenses can be used wide open in a greater variety of conditions.


(2) This camera features the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which quadruples image resolution and produces
accurate color reproduction, ideal for commercial photography and digital archiving of cultural assets. The IBIS
mechanism is used to shift the image sensor at high precision to carry out automatic shooting of 20 frames in
a single click of the shutter. The dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner” processes the captured frames to
generate an image containing some 160 million pixels.

(3) The Smooth Skin Effect, which automatically smooths the skin tone, is also featured, reducing post-
processing workload required in portrait photography, etc., so that images can be finished at an advanced level of perfection much quicker than ever before.


(4) The X-T5 features Auto White Balance based on the Deep Learning technology. AI technology has boosted the camera’s ability to automatically determine white balance, e.g. by way of accurately recognizing warm light-bulb color.



(5) The X-T5 comes with 19 Film Simulation modes, including “Nostalgic Neg.,” characterized by high saturation and soft tonality. Users can use Film Simulation presets, designed for various subject types and scenes, as if they are choosing photographic film.


(6) The X-T5 supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image quality in files up to 30% smaller
than standard JPEGs. The next chapter in delivering high-quality results straight out of camera has officially
begun for X Series.

2. Hardware, design and operability that provides powerful support to users’ content creation
(1) The X-T5 features the 5-axis in-body image stabilization of up to 7.0 stops. Users can shoot
handheld even in low light conditions such as nightscape photography. The IBIS mechanism is also used to shift the camera’s image sensor in high precision to facilitate the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function.



(2) The subject detection AF, based on deep learning technology, can detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles,
airplanes and trains with AI technology. The system automatically tracks a subject while maintaining focus,
so that users can concentrate on shutter opportunities and framing.
(3) The X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR sensor has a greater number of phase detection pixels than the previous model, resulting in an improved ability to attain AF-S focus on a high-frequency subject, providing accurate
autofocusing in situations where AF-S is typically used, such as landscape photography and portraiture. The
use of an improved AF prediction algorithm offers stable focusing also in the AF-C mode.
(4) The X-T5 features three dials on the top panel for controlling ISO, shutter speed and exposure compensation.
Users can check and change camera settings even before turning it on, as with the case of the aperture ring,
featured in most XF lenses. This makes it easy to reflect users’ photographic intentions to camera operations.


 


(5) A new feature of the camera is the 1.84-million-dot three-way tilting LCD. It makes it easy to shoot in vertical
position or at waist level, liberating users from constraints in a wide range of photographic situations.
(6) The camera is equipped with a high-magnification 3.69-million-dot EVF with 0.8x magnification. Compared to the previous model, the viewfinder has improved suppression of parallax and distortion, which typically occurs when an eye position becomes displaced while using the viewfinder, for stellar visibility.
(7) Evolved IBIS mechanism and other parts, including EVF, has resulted in a compact body that
weighs just 557g. Optimized operability of dials and buttons has led to a reduced form factor and
improved usability at the same time. This is coupled with the camera’s weather-resistant structure to allow users to take the X-T5 into any conditions with peace of mind.
3. Featuring extended video functions
(1) 6.2K movies can be recorded internally at 30P in 4:2:2 10-bit color. X-T5 features the 4K HQ mode, which uses 6.2K over-sampling to produce high-quality video, while making the maximum advantage of the high-resolution sensor to deliver video in superior image resolution.

(2) X-T5 supports F-Log2, which records an expanded dynamic range of 13+ stops. This range is wider than
current F-Log, broadening post-production potential.
(3) When combined with an ATOMOS HDMI device, the RAW video output from the X-T5 can be recorded as 12-bit Apple ProRes RAW*5 at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps. And when combined with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12Gs, the RAW video output from the camera can be recorded as Blackmagic RAW at frame sizes up to 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97fps. Apple ProRes is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries.




2. Optional accessories
Hand grip “MHG-XT5” (designed for the X-T5)

This grip substantially improves users’ ability to hand-hold the camera when a large-aperture lens is mounted.
The hand grip does not have to be removed to change a battery or SD card. The base can be used as a plate
compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release system.
