Fujifilm X-T50 +16-50mm f2.8-4.8 R LM WR anthracite

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 about 438 grams *3, making it one of the lightest models in the X series. In combination with the standard FUJINON XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR lens, the camera is suitable for a wide range of different subjects.

High image quality

An advanced algorithm in combination with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor ensures 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 respects. 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 16-50mm f2.8-4.8 LM WR

compact standard Zoom lens with excellent image quality

The new lens joins the extensive range of XF lenses developed for the X series mirrorless system cameras.

The XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR covers the most important focal length range from 16mm at wide angle to 50mm at medium telephoto (equivalent to 24mm to 76mm 35mm). It is suitable for a wide variety of subjects, from landscape and architectural photography to group shots and portraits.
The Zoom lens is compatible with the high-resolution 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor *1 and, at a weight of approximately 240 grams, is lighter than any other XF Zoom lens *2. Its versatility makes it the perfect standard lens that is quickly to hand in any situation

. In

addition to its high resolution performance, it has a particularly short close-up distance that allows fascinating images to be taken at a reproduction scale of almost 1:2 *3 in relation to the 35 mm format. The lens is therefore also ideal for photographing plants, food and handicrafts, for example.

Outstanding image quality

The lens covers the most important focal length range from 16 mm wide-angle to 50 mm telephoto (equivalent to 24 mm to 76 mm 35 mm) and offers excellent imaging properties. The optical construction comprises eleven elements in nine groups. Three aspherical lenses and three ED glasses minimize chromatic aberrations and contribute significantly to the high resolution.
In the telephoto range, a magnification of up to 0.3x is achieved, which corresponds to a magnification of 0.45x in 35 mm format.*3 The closest focusing distance is 24 cm over the entire Zoom range, which equates to a distance of just 15 cm between the front lens and the subject

.

Compact and lightweight

Weighing just 240 grams, the XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR is the lightest Zoom lens in the XF series. Lightweight components and an optimally balanced construction make it the ideal companion for everyday use and when traveling. The internal zoom mechanism also contributes to the high ease of use. As the barrel does not extend when Zooming, the length of the lens always remains the same.

Fast and precise autofocus

The XF16-50mmF2.8-4.8 R LM WR focuses on the subject with lightning speed and precision in just 0.015 seconds *4. This autofocus performance is made possible by a particularly compact and lightweight focus group and internal focusing with a linear motor.

Splashproof and dustproof

The weatherproof lens barrel is sealed against moisture and dirt in 13 places. The seals also ensure that the lens can be used at low temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. The XF 16-50mm F2.8-4.8 R LM WR is therefore ideally suited for use in light rain or dusty environments as well as for landscape photography in winter or by the sea.
