Fujifilm X-T5 Silver with XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 Lens Kit in More Detail

The latest generation sensor and processor

The X-T5 features Fuji’s 5th generation 40.2 megapixel X-Trans 5 HR BSI sensor, which is the highest resolution ever in an APS-C format X-T series camera – up from 26MP in the X-T4. Images are recorded in sizes measuring 3:2 providing excellent detail and plenty of latitude for cropping in to your subject. The pixel layout has been optimised for exceptional detail, with unrivalled colour accuracy together with impressive AF performance, when paired with the high-speed X-Processor 5. This imaging processor is compact, fast and more power efficient, which gives the X-T5 a fruitful 20% bump in battery performance for up to 740 stills, against 600 in the previous model.

Noise suppression from this combination is also the best from any previous generation, with a low base ISO 125 and offers the ability to capture HEIF files.

Despite its impressive resolution, the X-T5 captures continuous bursts of up to 15fps at full resolution and records 6.2K/30p video internally without overheat for up to 90 minutes. When shooting in electronic shutter mode continuous shooting increases to 20fps and Fuji’s electronic shutter speed now reaches a staggering 1/180000sec.

High resolution Pixel Shift Multi Shot

Thanks to the sensor design pixel shift multi-shot offers photographers the ability to capture ultra-high resolution 160 megapixel photos for billboard sized posters, huge prints and more. This works by shifting the sensor by 0.5 pixels between each of 20 frames. The results are then automatically combined into one DNG RAW file, which can be output to your desired file format using RAW processing software.

When shooting for archival recording and other commercial applications where colour fidelity and fine detail are paramount, you’ll experience exceptionally accurate colour with virtually non-existent false colours and moiré.

Crystal clear viewfinder

With its 3.69 million dot EVF and 100fps refresh rate, the EVF offers the best ever blackout-free viewing experience from an X-T series camera. Reaction time when switching between LCD to EVF is as quick as 0.12 seconds, while switching back is just 0.16 seconds. The eye point is now 24mm over 23mm previously and diopter adjustment has been extended to -5~+3dp.

19 Film Simulation Modes

19 film simulations are available, including popular Classic Chrome, Velvia and Eterna as well as monochrome mode. Film simulations delivers impressive images straight out of camera, combining colours from famous analog films, with tones and contrast. These can be accessed through the camera's main menu system, the Quick Menu and by button customisation.

Compact design with excellent usability

Despite housing impressive performance upgrades, the X-T5 body has been refined to provide improved ergonomics and handling. Overall dimensions measure 129.5 x 91 x 63.8mm, resulting in 5% less volume and a 50g reduction in weight against the previous generation camera. The grip is also newly designed offering improved purchase and more solid handling and 3-way tilt LCD.

Evolved AF performance

Thanks to the new X-Trans 5 HR BSI sensor the X-T5 delivers 100% phase detection AF area, with -7EV low light limit. The number of PDAF pixels is 3.33 million (up from 2.16), which delivers impressive AF wherever the subject is within the frame.

This increase in on-sensor PDAF pixels lets you focus on fine-textured subjects such as animal fur, grass and trees more accurately than before.

Deep learning Subject detection and tracking

Not only has the AF algorithm been improved when tracking fast moving subjects, or anything which is smaller in the frame, but the X-T5 now includes deep learning technology. A broader range of subject recognition now includes human face/eye as well as animal, bird, automobile, bike, airplane and train. For creators this means you can acquire and track more diverse subjects for sharper images and stills, by simply choosing the appropriate subject from the camera settings menu.

Video capabilities

Another first for the X-T range is the ability to record 6.2K/30p movies in-camera, along with 4K/60p and ultra high-speed 240p 1080 Full HD for slow motion effects. Colour fidelity is also enhanced with 4:2:2 10-bit at up to 400Mbps. F-Log2 provides an increased 13+ stops of dynamic range (up 1-stop) and you can plug an external monitor in using a Type D HDMI cable to capture ProRes RAW or BlackMagic RAW.

At normal operation temperatures the X-T5 provides a continuous recording time of 90 minutes (25C) and 60 minutes when capturing 4K/60p. Even during extreme 40C heat you can record for 17 minutes and 18 minutes respectively at the same settings.

Updated IBIS

An upgraded stabilisation algorithm improves IBIS which rises from 6.5-stops in the previous model to 7-stops of high image stabilisation performance.

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.
