Fujifilm X-T50 Charcoal with XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 Lens Kit

Fujifilm X-T50 Charcoal with XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 Lens Kit Summary

Fujifilm has simultaneously launched both of the high-resolution mirrorless X series cameras and X mount lenses, as well as pairing them together in this Fujifilm X-T50 Charcoal with XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 Lens Kit.

The refined camera body with a smooth rounded design and updated ergonomics arrives with a 40.2MP APS-C format sensor and X-Processor 5, which is paired with a 24-76mm zoom range (full-frame equivalent) offered by the lens. This allows you can capture a huge variety of stills and video subjects with just this one lens kit.

The zoom offers a bright variable aperture, and thanks to the contemporary optical design it readily resolves high levels of detail, which are captured by Fujifilm’s 40MP sensor. It also features a fast and quiet focusing motor, which keeps pace with the X-T50 Charcoal continuous burst rates, which are as fast as 20fps in electronic shutter, and 8fps in mechanical mode.

A combined weight just shy of 700g enables creators to hit the streets, hike to landscape destinations and travel the world with a portable yet powerful hybrid system. Along with high-resolution stills photos the camera is capable of recording up to 6.2K/30p video in 4:2:2 10-bit, as well as offering support for recording ProRes and BlackMagic Raw.

A comprehensive suite of Film Simulation modes, extensive connectivity and the latest technology is also available for sharing content to followers and friends.

Fujifilm X-T50 – Superb image quality

Fujifilm’s current highest resolution APS-C sensor found in cameras like the X-H2 is at the heart of the X-T50, which offers unrivalled image quality for both stills and video. The sensor combines a low standard base ISO sensitivity of ISO 125 with incredibly quick shutter speeds up to 1/180,000 for bright daylight situations. 10-bit HEIF images are supported, with better compression and higher image quality than regular JPEG files, along with RAW stills and video file support.

High-speed X-Processor 5

Fuji’s fifth generation X-Processor 5 takes shooting speed, colour science and image processing to new levels, while reducing power consumption effectively. This enables the camera to provide an advanced shooting experience with high speed burst shooting and ultra-fast shutter speeds up to 1/180,000 second in electronic shutter mode. The result is a powerful camera that you can handhold, with versatile content creation catering to any creative assignment.

Enhanced AF performance

Thanks to the sensor and processor combination the X-T50’s AF is significantly improved compared to the X-T30 II. Wide sensor coverage phase-detection AF points and a faster and more accurate autofocus algorithm introduce deep-learning AI technology with subject detection AF, and enhanced autofocus performance.

The AF system more accurately recognises and tracks human faces and eyes, as well as animals, birds, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, and trains. This enables photographers to focus on their creative vision, while the camera handles more precise autofocus with great results.

20 Film Simulation Modes

Fujifilm’s vast experience in colour science has been extended to encompass 20 Film Simulation Modes for the X-T50 mirrorless camera. The REALA ACE recipe has been added too, which offers a slightly reduced saturation and similar tonality to PRO Neg. Std, that’s ideal for everyday shooting and general use.

Hardware and camera design

Fujifilm has given the X-T50 camera a comprehensive set of tools for photographers, in a body design which weighs just 438g, including:

• Film simulation dial
• Threaded shutter release for a shutter release cable
• Exposure compensation dial
• Shutter speed dial
• Custom Fn button
• F/R command dials
• Interval timer shooting
• Colour Chrome Effect
• Multi exposure
• Drive button
• Q button

These allow you to create photos and video with easily accessible and customisable controls on the body.

Great ergonomics and build

Whether using the high-resolution electronic viewfinder (EVF) or the 2-way tilting LCD touchscreen, the Fujifilm X-T50 offers a clear view of the scene in front of you, complemented by easy-to-use controls that support creative image-making.

EVF

OLED Colour Electronic Viewfinder with 2.36 million dots, and 0.62x magnification.

LCD

3.0 inch Tilt-Type (2-Way) Touch Screen Colour LCD Monitor with 1.62 million dot and 4:3 aspect ratio. This offers easy image review and touch shooting settings, using commonplace gestures and control.

Digital Teleconverter

A built-in 1.4x /2.0x digital teleconverter allows you to zoom in without adding an external teleconverter to boost your X mount lens with even more versatility.

Fuji has refined the body design for the X-T50, rounding off the corners, adjusting the rear button layout as well as adding an improved grip shape for better hold, whether shooting stills or video.

Compact and portable

With a design based on the X-T30 II and weighing just 438g with an SD memory card and battery, the new-generation Fuji X-T50 camera is light enough to bring anywhere and shoot handheld.

It is compatible with fast UHS-II SD memory cards, which can keep pace with 20fps burst shooting and 6.2K video recording, while providing up to 390 frames battery life in economy mode, using the NP-W126S rechargeable battery.

Up to 7.0 stops in-body stabilisation

With up to 7.0 stops of compensation against camera shake, the advanced in-body stabilisation system (IBIS) allows you to handle low light situations with ease. This is achieved by harnessing information from both the image sensor and gyro sensor, providing a huge advantage to shoot at faster shutter speed in any lighting conditions.

Photography features

Powerful tools are available to help you capture perfect stills, such as:

• AF range limiter
• 425 AF points
• 20fps in electronic shutter mode
• 8fps continuous shooting mechanical shutter mode

Camera to cloud frame.io is built-in, with support for 12-bit ProRes / BlackMagic RAW recording, for exceptional colour grading latitude when post-processing.

F-Log and F-Log 2 profile support offers 13+ stops of dynamic range, when shooting in 12-bit ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW.

Practical video making tools

Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens in More Detail

The Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens was released alongside the camera and brings a full-frame equivalent of 24-76mm. This provides a highly versatile zoom range suitable for various photography styles including portraits and street photography, while also allowing photographers to stop down for extremely detailed landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors.

Optically, the lens is designed to support high-resolution camera sensors, with an optical design which includes 11 elements in 9 groups, including 3 ED and 3 Aspherical elements. It's capable of resolving over 40 megapixels, meeting the demands of the X-T50’s CMOS sensor while controlling image artefacts like chromatic aberrations and colour fringing.

The 9-bladed aperture creates beautiful bokeh and soft focus areas, and with a close focusing distance of 24cm and a maximum magnification of 0.3x, photographers can capture engaging, frame-filling images.

Autofocus is fast and silent thanks to a linear motor design, making it especially suitable for quiet environments such as weddings or events. Additionally, the XF 16-50mm lens is not only compact and lightweight but also robustly constructed with comprehensive weather sealing.

Its inner zoom mechanism enhances durability by preventing dust and moisture intrusion and maintains its compact size during zoom adjustments, prepared for any content creation situations.
