Fujifilm X-T50 Anthracite + XF 23mm f1.4

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 23mm 1:1.4

The Fujinon "XF23mm F1.4 R" has a focal length of 23mm (35mm equivalent to KB) and is ideally suited for subjects such as landscapes or portraits. High-resolution from the center of the image to the edges with excellent contrast, this lens delivers impressive image results. The extremely powerful optics reduce distortion to a minimum. Digital correction is not necessary.

With

its high speed of F1.4, the lens is ideal for low-light photography

.

The "XF23mm F1.4 R" consists of eleven elements in eight groups, including an aspherical lens. In addition, it has seven aperture blades that produce an almost circular aperture, allowing an excellent blur effect to be achieved

.

The precise focus ring, like the aperture ring, is made entirely of metal and enables precise and comfortable shooting with manual focus. The distance and depth-of-field scales on the lens are very useful for manual pre-focusing to capture fast-moving subjects. The close focusing distance of 28 centimeters enables impressive close-ups

, and

the Fujinon "XF23mm F1.4 R" also achieves a very fast autofocus speed thanks to an innovative autofocus design. With a weight of just 300 grams and a length of only 63 mm, the XF23mm is also one of the lightest and most compact lenses in its class
