Fujifilm X-T5 body black + Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN (C)

Fujifilm X-T5

The FUJIFILM X-T5 offers photographers a perfect total package: It features fifth-generation imaging technology - the rear-illuminated 40.2-megapixel X-Trans*1 CMOS 5 HR sensor and fast X-Processor 5 - and offers built-in five-axis image stabilization over up to seven stops (EV)*2. Despite its tremendous performance, it is smaller and also lighter than its predecessor, weighing just 557 grams.*3

Like previous models in the X-T line, the X-T5 features a center-mounted electronic viewfinder and several large command dials. Inside, it offers a host of technical innovations, including a standard sensitivity of ISO 125, a fastest shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec, the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function, and Scene Recognition AF based on Deep Learning technology that identifies and tracks various subjects (such as animals or vehicles).

Videos are recorded by the X-T5 in up to 6.2K/30p quality

. The

high-resolution foldable touchscreen monitor and dual memory card slot round out the new camera's features.

The

X-T5 is the ideal tool for demanding photographers who travel a lot and don't want to compromise on image quality

. It is

as handy as it is versatile, and is ideal for fast reportage and street photography as well as high-quality landscape and portrait photography

.

High-resolution X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Sensor and X-Processor 5

The

X-T5 is equipped with a rear-exposed 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor that delivers very high resolution without distracting image noise, resulting in overall brilliant image quality

.

An advanced pixel structure results in a greater amount of light on the sensor, so that ISO 125 is now available as the standard sensitivity and no longer needs to be selected via the extended ISO range. The

new sensor can also be driven with extreme precision, allowing ultra-short exposure times

.

For example, the fastest shutter speed of the electronic shutter has been increased by 2.5 EV steps from 1/32,000 sec. to now 1/180,000 sec.

The new sensor opens up new creative possibilities, especially when shooting in bright environments

. For

example, on sunny summer days or on the ski slopes, you can achieve the attractive bokeh effect with the aperture open, or freeze fast movements in maximum sharpness with ultra-fast shutter speeds

.

Innovative photo functions

With the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function, the camera takes 20 high-resolution images in succession in raw data format, with the image sensor being shifted minimally after each exposure. The resulting individual photos can be combined into a single image file with a resolution of 160 megapixels using the free "Pixel Shift Combiner" software. This function is particularly interesting for photographic documentation and digitization in the fields of art and culture, as well as for high-quality still life and product shots. The

camera features the "Skin Effect Soft" function for particularly attractive reproduction of skin tones. Post-processing time for portrait shots is significantly reduced, so high-quality image results are available faster than ever. The

X-T5 is equipped with automatic white balance based on Deep Learning technology. The camera more accurately detects different light sources (such as incandescent lamps) and adjusts white balance accordingly.

The

X-T5 offers 19 film simulations, including "Nostalgic Negative" for high color saturation and smooth tonal gradations. It supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image files that are up to 30 percent smaller than standard JPEG files.

With the

inclusion of this feature, FUJIFILM underscores its reputation for delivering the very highest quality images directly from X Series cameras

.

Built-in Image Stabilizer and Intelligent Autofocus

In-camera five-axis image stabilization (IBIS) compensates for camera movement over up to seven stops (EV)*2. Even at night, at dusk, or in other low-light situations, freehand shooting is possible. The IBIS mechanism simultaneously enables the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function via high-precision shifting of the image sensor.

The

X-T5 is equipped with an innovative autofocus system that allows the person taking the picture to focus entirely on the subject and composition. She can trust the camera to focus reliably and precisely on the subject. For example, the X-T5's autofocus system offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. Developed using Deep Learning technology, the algorithm not only detects and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes and trains in focus.

The 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR has more phase-detection pixels than previous X-series image sensors, resulting in even more precise focusing in AF-S mode, for example in landscape or portrait photography. A new AF algorithm for predicting object movement enables even more reliable focus tracking in continuous focus (AF-C)

.

Convenient operation

There are

three dials on the top of the X-T5 for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation. Like the aperture ring on many XF lenses, they allow control of key exposure parameters even when the camera is off. The X-T5 thus becomes the ideal tool for transferring one's creative intuition directly into the image production process. The

new LCD monitor offers a resolution of 1.84 million pixels and can be swiveled in three directions

.

When shooting from the hip or overhead, for example, the display remains in the optical axis and is always easy to read, allowing comfortable and unrestricted work even in demanding shooting situations. The

electronic viewfinder of the X-T5 offers a high-resolution viewfinder image with 3.69 million pixels and 0.8x magnification

.

The image is optimally corrected and free of parallax errors and distortion that otherwise often appear with changes in eye position. The

advancement of the IBIS mechanism, electronic viewfinder and other components allows for a compact and lightweight design

.

Despite its performance, the camera weighs just 557 grams*4. In addition, handling has been optimized and the operability of the dials and buttons has been improved. The weatherproof body can be used in humid and dirty environments without hesitation

.

Advanced video capabilities

The X-T5 records video in 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit format. In 4K HQ mode, the camera draws on the detail of the 6.2K data during internal oversampling to generate a 4K image of superior quality. The X-T5 supports F-Log2, which provides an expanded dynamic range of more than 13 stops, offering further creative potential in video editing.

When combined with a compatible Atomos external HDMI recorder, 12-bit RAW video files can also be recorded and saved as Apple ProRes RAW*5 in 6.2K at frame rates up to 29.97 frames per second. When used with the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders, raw video files can be saved as Blackmagic RAW in up to 6.2K quality and 29.97 frames per second

Sigma 16mm f1.4 DC DN © Fuji X

This wide-angle lens from Sigma opens up a whole new world of photography possibilities. The 16mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary with Fuji X mount corresponds to an angle of view of a 24mm focal length lens in KB format (35mm) and comes with an extremely high speed of F1.4. Compact and lightweight, the DN lens is suitable for everyday use.

The

same development concept as the 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary was used, and thanks to 16 lenses in 13 groups and high-quality materials, first-class optics are delivered

.

Optical aberrations are effectively minimized and excellent resolution is guaranteed over the entire aperture range.

The mount is splash and dust protected thanks to a gasket and with the stepper motor, smooth autofocus is possible even when shooting video. A lens hood is included to block distracting light and minimize reflections within the

aperture.
