Fujifilm X-E5 Body Black + XF 23mm f2.8 R WR

Fujifilm X-E5 Body Black

Weighing just 445 grams*1, the X-E5 is a lightweight mirrorless system camera. At the same time, it offers impressive performance: the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2 and the powerful X-Processor 5 ensure outstanding image quality and fast data processing. With the X-E5, FUJIFILM introduces several innovations to the X-E line. The in-camera five-axis image stabilization compensates for camera shake by up to 7.0

EV stops in the center of the image and 6.0 EV stops at the edges* 3. This ensures razor-sharp images even in low light. Another new feature is the cover plate made entirely of milled aluminum, which ensures a high-quality feel. The new Classic Display mode*4 offers a reduced, clear viewfinder display, with all important information appearing at the bottom of the image. The body design allows quick access to dials and levers with just one hand, so you can keep your eyes focused on the subject through the viewfinder. The X-E5 remains true to the style of the X series and consistently develops it further in terms of design and function. Sophisticated technology and elegant design make the camera a tool that appeals to both beginners and experienced photographers - and reawakens the joy of photography.

Stylish design and intuitive operation

As the first model in the X series, the X-E5 has a cover plate precisely milled from solid aluminum. The characteristic recess at the rear emphasizes the high-quality workmanship of the metal body and facilitates access to the control dials - for a user-friendly and comfortable shooting experience.

The redesigned film simulation dial features a precisely crafted display window that makes the transition to the body appear almost seamless, creating a flawless finish. Personal preferences for film simulation and image quality can also be conveniently stored as film simulation recipes in positions FS1 to FS3. The design of the X-E5 has been refined down to the last detail. The viewfinder and the diopter adjustment are a perfect fit with the housing and blend harmoniously into the overall concept. The targeted refinement of lines and proportions preserves the traditional camera style and gives the housing a stylish, contemporary look. A shoulder strap with an elegant rope look rounds off the sophisticated design concept of the camera.

Visual comfort and quick adjustment

The electronic viewfinder offers a retro-minimalist classic display mode reminiscent of old film cameras. The display is limited to the essentials. Together with a body that allows one-handed operation of dials and levers, users can stay focused on framing without taking their eyes off the camera.

The X-E5 also has a Surround View function: depending on the image format, it shows the area outside the field of view through semi-transparent areas or lines. The viewfinder image conveys the feeling of an optical viewfinder, although it is an electronic one. A lever on the front of the camera can be used to select the film simulation recipes and control the user-defined display modes, such as changing the VIEW MODE, adjusting the image format or setting the magnification of the digital teleconverter.

Powerful technology

An improved gyro sensor and an optimized algorithm now detect movements even more precisely and compensate for camera shake particularly effectively. Despite the compact housing, the integrated 5-axis stabilization achieves compensation of up to 7.0 EV steps in the center of the image and 6.0 EV steps at the edges - for razor-sharp images in a wide range of situations. Thanks to the high-resolution "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor, subjects can be enlarged by a factor of 1.4 or 2.0 with the digital teleconverter. The flip-up monitor can be tilted up to 180 degrees upwards and forwards, promoting creative image compositions, from high and low perspectives to selfies. The X-E5 records video in 6.2K/30P and features tracking autofocus for smooth focus tracking and smooth, high-quality moving images.

High image quality and fast autofocus

The fifth generation of the X series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor. Advanced image processing algorithms ensure high resolution and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio. An improved pixel structure enables a higher light yield and makes ISO 125 available as the standard sensitivity. This results in particularly detailed images with reduced noise. With the previous model5,this value could only be used over the extended sensitivity range. The electronic shutter allows ultra-fast exposure times of up to 1/180,000 of a second and therefore extremely precise exposure control. The autofocus system of the X-E5 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 alsoreliablykeeps animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects and drones6in focus. A new AF algorithm improves tracking performance on moving subjects and increases autofocus precision in low-contrast scenes.

Fujifilm XF 23mm f2.8 Black

At just 23 millimeters long*1 and weighing around 90 grams, the lens is exceptionally compact and lightweight.

Its 23 mm focal length (equivalent to 35 mm 35mm) and high resolution make it the ideal complement to the 40.2-megapixel "X-Trans CMOS 5 HR" sensor*2.

The versatile standard wide-angle lens is suitable for a wide range of subjects - from everyday scenes and close-ups to landscapes, portraits and still lifes. It combines robust construction, high functionality and impressive image quality in a wide range of situations. Thanks to the compact shape and low weight of the lens, the photographic equipment remains pleasantly light, ideal for spontaneous shots on the move.

Compact and lightweight

The optical construction of the XF23mmF2.8 R WR consists of eight elements in six groups. Two aspherical lenses minimize aberrations from the center to the edge of the image and contribute to impressive sharpness and fine detail.
Despite its high resolution, the lens remains compact, as the lens elements can be made particularly thin thanks to the latest manufacturing technology. The slim lens benefits from precisely manufactured metal components. Weighing just 90 grams and measuring 23 millimetres in length, it is similarly compact to the XF27mmF2.8. Eleven aperture blades create a soft, rounded bokeh that highlights the main subject in an atmospheric way.

Versatile and fast

The minimum distance to the subject is only 20 centimetres, the lens remains pleasantly compact and easy to handle even at this close range. This makes it possible to take pictures even in small spaces - such as still lifes on a table. When focusing, the entire lens group moves, minimizing aberrations and ensuring high image quality right up to the close-up range. A powerful DC motor ensures fast focusing.

Stylish and robust

The XF23mmF2.8 R WR impresses with its stylish, tapered design. The focus ring is sensor-supported and enables precise manual focusing with a minimal angle of rotation.
Despite the compact design, the focus ring and aperture ring are separated by a fixed intermediate ring and can be conveniently operated independently of each other. The finely ribbed surface ensures a secure grip and makes it easier to change the lens. The lens barrel is dust-proof, splash-proof and fully functional down to minus 10 °C. Nine seals ensure reliable operation even in light rain and dusty environments.
