Fujifilm X-T5
The FUJIFILM X-T5 offers photographers a perfect overall package: it is equipped with the fifth generation of image technology - the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans*1 CMOS 5 HR sensor and the fast X-Processor 5 - and offers integrated five-axis image stabilization over up to seven f-stops (EV)*2. Despite its enormous performance, it is smaller and, with a weight of only 557 grams, also lighter than the previous model.*3
Like the previous models in the X-T line, the X-T5 has a centrally positioned electronic viewfinder and several large control dials. Inside, it offers a variety 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 the subject recognition autofocus based on deep learning technology, which identifies and tracks various subjects (e.g. animals or vehicles).
The X-T5 records videos in up to 6.2K/30p quality. The high-resolution folding touchscreen monitor and the double memory card slot round off the features of the new camera.
The X-T5 is the ideal tool for demanding photographers who travel a lot and do not 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 for 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 back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, which delivers a very high resolution without disturbing image noise and therefore a brilliant overall image quality.
A further developed 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 controlled with extreme precision, allowing ultra-short exposure times. The fastest shutter speed of the electronic shutter has been increased by 2.5 EV steps from 1/32,000 sec. to 1/180,000 sec.
The new sensor opens up new creative possibilities, especially when shooting in bright surroundings. On sunny summer days or on the ski slopes, for example, you can achieve the attractive bokeh effect with the aperture open or freeze fast movements with ultra-fast shutter speeds for maximum sharpness.
Innovative photo functions
With the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function, the camera takes 20 high-resolution images one after the other in raw data format, whereby the image sensor is minimally shifted 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 photography.
The camera has the "Soft skin effect" function for a particularly attractive reproduction of skin tones. The post-processing time for portrait shots is significantly reduced, so that 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 recognizes different light sources (e.g. incandescent lamps) even more precisely and adjusts the 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. The inclusion of this feature underlines FUJIFILM's reputation for delivering the highest quality images directly from its X Series cameras.
Built-in image stabilizer and intelligent autofocus
The 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, you can shoot freehand. The IBIS mechanism also enables the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function via the high-precision shift of the image sensor.
The X-T5 is equipped with an innovative autofocus system that allows the person taking the photo to concentrate fully on the subject and the composition of the picture. They can trust the camera to focus reliably and precisely on the subject. The autofocus system of the X-T5 offers object-oriented subject recognition based on artificial intelligence. The algorithm developed using deep learning technology not only recognizes and tracks people's faces and eyes, but also reliably keeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes and trains in focus.
The 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR has more phase detection pixels than the previous image sensors in the X series, which leads to even more precise focusing in AF-S mode, for example in landscape or portrait shots. A new AF algorithm for predicting object movements enables even more reliable focus tracking in continuous focus (AF-C).
Convenient operation
On the top of the X-T5 there are three control dials for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation. Like the aperture ring on many XF lenses, they allow the most important exposure parameters to be controlled even when the camera is switched off. This makes the X-T5 the ideal tool for transferring your own creative intuition directly into the image production process.
The new LCD monitor offers a resolution of 1.84 million pixels and can be tilted 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, so that comfortable and unrestricted working is possible 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, which otherwise often occur when the eye position changes.
The further development of the IBIS mechanism, the electronic viewfinder and other components allows a compact and lightweight design. Despite its performance, the camera weighs just 557 grams*4 and handling has been optimized and the operability of the dials and buttons improved. The weatherproof housing can also be used in damp and dirty environments without hesitation.
Advanced video functions
The X-T5 records video in 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit format. In 4K HQ mode, the camera uses the depth of detail of the 6.2K data for internal oversampling to generate a superior quality 4K image. The X-T5 supports F-Log2, which offers an extended dynamic range of more than 13 stops and thus further creative potential in video editing.
In combination 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. In conjunction with the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders, the raw video data can be saved as Blackmagic RAW in up to 6.2K quality and 29.97 frames per second.

Fujifilm XF 18-120mm f4 LM PZ WR
With the FUJINON XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR, FUJIFILM presents a universal powerZoom lens for X series mirrorless system cameras. The new lens, which is excellent for both photo and video recording, joins the camera system, which has won many awards for its outstanding image quality and compact design, and is also known for its unmatched FUJIFILM color reproduction.
The XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR covers the focal length range from 18mm wide-angle to 120mm telephoto (equivalent to 27-183mm KB). The universal 6.7x Zoom can be used for a variety of different shooting situations, from landscape shots to snapshots and portraits. The consistently high speed of F4 enables an attractive bokeh effect with soft background blur. A magnification of up to 0.2x is achieved for close-ups, enabling impressive shots of flowers and other plants. The Power Zoom lens is particularly interesting for anyone who frequently takes photos and videos with their FUJIFILM camera. It is suitable for video recordings not only because of the motorized Zoom, but also because the image section does not shift when focusing and there is no unwanted focus shift when Zooming. These are two characteristics that are otherwise only fulfilled by TV and cine lenses developed by FUJINON specifically for filming.
Universal Zoom range for photo and video The optical construction of the XF18-120mmF4 comprises 15 lens elements in 12 groups. The compact lens offers a 6.7x Zoom and a continuous aperture of F4. Three aspherical lenses and three ED elements ensure excellent imaging performance, effectively minimizing optical sharpness and chromatic aberration as well as distortion. The lens is therefore not only an ideal choice for detailed landscape shots, but also for expressive close-ups and portraits. The focus lens has been positioned within the optical system in such a way that focus breathing is effectively minimized: Advanced optical technologies originally developed by FUJINON for motion picture lenses ensure stable framing when focusing. The result is moving images of outstanding quality. The aspherical lens enables close-ups with up to 0.2x magnification. The shortest focusing distance is only 46 cm from the front lens over the entire focal length range. In the telephoto range of up to 120 mm (equivalent to 183 mm KB), format-filling shots are possible. The compact lens barrel makes it possible to approach even small and shy subjects (e.g. insects and butterflies) inconspicuously.
Fast and precise autofocus
The XF18-120mmF4 has a fast autofocus system that focuses precisely on the subject in just 0.02 seconds. The AF system is based on internal focusing, which brings the compact and lightweight focus group into the required position at lightning speed using a quiet linear motor. In conjunction with the new FUJIFILM X-H2S, the lens offers advanced tracking AF performance. It is compatible with the camera's high-speed focus mechanism, which enables very natural-looking AF tracking for dynamic subjects - in both photo and video recordings.
Special video functions
The aperture setting has been optimized to prevent undesired incorrect exposures and jumps in brightness during video recordings. If the lighting intensity of the subject changes, the aperture is adjusted absolutely smoothly and evenly. With the help of the Power Zoom, which is activated via the "Zoom button" on the lens, even film novices can achieve smooth and professional-looking Zoom shots. The lens has a universal Zoom focus ring that allows the focal length to be changed or the focus to be adjusted at different speeds. When shooting movies, the speed of Zoom movement or focus shift can be precisely controlled, enabling new forms of creative expression. In combination with the new flagship model of the X series, the FUJIFILM X-H2S, and the optionally available FT-XH transmitter, the lens can also be used for remote-controlled video recording. The lens and the camera connected to it can be controlled via an internet-based browser application. In this way, even small teams can realize sophisticated productions with several cameras.
Compact and lightweight housing
The use of aspherical lenses, ED elements and other special optical glass makes the XF18-120mmF4 a handy and lightweight Zoom lens that is ideal for mobile video shoots: it weighs just 460 grams and is just 123.5 mm long with a filter size of 72 mm. The lens barrel does not extend when Zooming, so that the lens is always perfectly balanced. The smooth-running Power Zoom mechanism is driven by a linear stepper motor, which moves the image section from wide-angle to telephoto without the usual tube rotation and in an absolutely straight line without deviating from the optical axis.
splash-proof and dust-proof
The weatherproof housing has 13 seals to ensure that neither dust nor moisture can penetrate the interior and that the lens remains fully functional even at temperatures as low as minus 10 degrees Celsius. This means that you can take photos in unstable weather or dusty environments without worrying.
