Fujifilm X-T50 Anthracite + XF 18-120mm f4 LM PZ WR

Fujifilm X-T50

The FUJIFILM X-T50 offers photographers a handy yet powerful tool. It is equipped with the advanced X-Processor 5 and the same high-resolution image sensor found in the top-of-the-range X-series models. Thanks to its intuitive operating concept, the X-T50 is the perfect choice for photographers of all experience levels who want to capture high-quality images without encountering complexity.

The X-T50 features a high-resolution 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, an X-Processor 5 *1 and five-axis image stabilization with up to seven stops *2. Despite these advanced features, it weighs only approx. 438 grams *3, making it one of the lightest models in the X series.

High image quality

An advanced algorithm works in conjunction with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor to ensure fast image processing with high detail sharpness and improved noise performance. The pixel structure has been optimized so that more light reaches the sensor and a standard sensitivity of ISO 125 is achieved, which was previously only available as an extended sensitivity.

The X-T50's electronic shutter allows ultra-fast shutter speeds of up to 1/180,000 of a second, enabling very precise exposure control. Even on bright days, you can shoot with fast lenses at open aperture to achieve attractive focus effects. The autofocus system of the X-T50 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, trains, insects and drones *5 in focus.

The X-T50 has 20 film simulations, including "REALA ACE" for natural color reproduction and high-contrast tonality. This means that numerous image styles are available, which can be selected to suit the respective scene, similar to analog films.
The camera also offers a digital teleconverter *6, which utilizes the high resolution of the 40.2 megapixel sensor to enlarge the subject by 1.4 or 2.0 times at the touch of a button.

Advanced shooting functions

The internal five-axis image stabilizer allows exposure times of up to seven f-stops longer. Even in very low light, for example in the evening or at night, you can take sharp pictures freehand.
Videos can be recorded with the X-T50 in 6.2K quality at 30 frames per second. The tracking AF follows dynamic objects during filming and keeps them reliably in focus

.

In AUTO mode, the camera automatically recognizes the subject and automatically selects the optimum shooting settings. Moving objects remain in focus without the photographer's intervention, making it easier to take photos and movies. The mode can be activated at any time using a selection switch on the top of the camera housing.

Modern product design

The design of the camera housing has been further developed and optimized in several ways. Rounded edges and a redesigned handle ensure comfortable and uncomplicated handling

.

The film simulation dial on the top of the camera is a new

feature.

This can be used to intuitively switch between the different film simulation modes depending on the subject or scene, both when taking photos and filming.

The camera has a built-in flash unit. The brightness of the flash automatically adjusts to the respective subject. Dark scenes or backlit portraits are optimally illuminated

.

The foldable LCD monitor with 1.84 million pixels offers a precise preview and makes it easier to take photos from unusual angles. The shape of the handgrip and the layout of the rear controls have been redesigned to make shooting and filming even more comfortable.

Fujifilm XF 18-120mm f4 LM PZ WR

With the FUJINON XF18-120mmF4 LM PZ WR, FUJIFILM presents a universal powerZoom lens for mirrorless system cameras of the X series. 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. Two characteristics that are otherwise only fulfilled by FUJINON's TV and cine lenses specially developed 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, which effectively minimize optical sharpness and colour errors as well as distortion, ensure excellent imaging performance. 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 with dynamic subjects - in both photo and video recordings.

Special video functions

The

aperture setting has been optimized to prevent unwanted incorrect exposures and brightness jumps in 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.

The weatherproof housing has 13 seals which 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
