First-class image quality

The X-S20 features a 26.1-megapixel X Trans CMOS 4 sensor with rear exposure and the powerful X Processor 5. This combination ensures high image quality and low power consumption, even lower than the previous model.

In AUTO mode, the camera not only automatically selects the appropriate setting for the scene, but also independently detects and tracks the main subject. This keeps the focus perfectly on the subject even in dynamic scenes, making it easier to shoot photos and videos in demanding situations. The

X-S20 offers a total of 19 film simulations that give subjects a particularly stylish look, similar to using analog film

choices is the "Nostalgic Neg." mode, which offers high saturation and soft tonality.

Artificial Intelligence Autofocus

The camera's autofocus is based on artificial intelligence and uses a subject detection algorithm developed using Deep Learning technology. This algorithm automatically detects and tracks faces, eyes, and a variety of subjects such as animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones (*6). With an advanced AF algorithm that calculates subject movement in advance, autofocus enables precise focusing with continuous autofocus (AF-C). This allows the photographer to fully concentrate on the moment of capture and composition of the image.

Convenient Handling

.

Even at night, at dusk, or in other low-light situations, photos can be taken hands-free. The

X-S20 is equipped with a remarkably clear and sharp viewfinder image that has 2.36 million pixels and a magnification of 0.62x. Its rear touchscreen can be panned and rotated sideways, which also makes it easy to take self-portraits. In addition, the camera is compatible with the TG-BT1 tripod grip, which is specifically designed for vlog content production.

Videos in 6.2K/30p

The X-S20 allows you to record videos in impressive 6.2K/30p resolution in 4:2:2 10-bit format. It also supports advanced video formats such as 4K/60p and 1080/240p. With F-Log2 recording mode, videographers can take advantage of an expanded dynamic range of over 13 stops to further realize their creative potential in video editing.

Additionally, the camera offers the ability to record 12-bit RAW video files using a compatible Atomos external HDMI recorder

.

These can then be saved as Apple ProRes RAW (*7) at a resolution of 6.2K or lower and at frame rates of up to 29.97 frames per second.

Furthermore, raw video can be saved as Blackmagic RAW when used with Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders. This allows for a quality of up to 6.2K and a frame rate of 29.97 frames per second.

The camera is extremely compact, yet offers two 3.5mm jacks for connecting an external microphone and headphones. In addition, it features a new Vlog mode designed specifically for selfies, which can be easily activated via the top dial, and the

X-S20 offers the ability to use it as a webcam without having to install additional software. All that is needed is a USB-C cable to connect the camera to a computer (*8), and

movie simulations can even be applied to the transmitted image during streaming or an online conference. Furthermore, it is possible to adjust the camera settings even during an ongoing connection to the computer.

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary

The fast standard SIGMA 30mm F1.4 DC DN Contemporary lens lets mirrorless camera users experience the fun of shooting at a maximum F1.4 aperture. Particularly appealing are the beautiful bokeh that can only be achieved with a fast lens, and the exceptionally precise optical performance that characterizes a top-of-the-line fixed focal length lens. Our latest technologies and design considerations, characteristic of the Contemporary product line concept, are well balanced in this new lens,

a fixed focal length lens that offers an angle of view similar to that of the human eye at approximately 50mm and a speed of F1.4. The shallow depth of field at full aperture offers photographers ideal conditions for fascinating portraits and still lifes. For landscape shots or snapshots, a smaller aperture with greater depth of field can be selected. Standard lenses offer a wide range of photographic applications and have therefore been part of photographers' basic equipment for decades. This standard lens offers a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 45mm on the Fuji X system.

Sigma Lenses with the "DC" designation offer optimal performance on cameras with APS-C image sensors. Using a DC lens on a camera with a full-frame image sensor will inevitably cause vignetting. For optimal results, match the active image field of the sensor to the image circle of the lens. SIGMA lenses with the "DN" designation offer optimal performance when used with cameras with a short flange

Tamron 150-500mm f5-6.7 Di III VC VXD Fuji X

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 effectively covers the focal length range from 225mm to 750mm *1. It offers a compact size and impressive image quality right into the corners of the frame. Even at a focal length setting of 500mm, it is easy to shoot freehand, and

built-in VC image stabilizer and fast VXD autofocus enable sharp image results without a tripod, even at ultra-long focal lengths

.

At 150mm, the close-up distance is only 0.6m, so the lens can also be used for expressive close-ups

Handy 500mm lens for a new era of telephoto photography

At 209.6mm long and 93mm in diameter, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 is an unusually compact 500mm ultra-telephoto zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras. Fully extended, it measures just 284.9mm in length, remaining remarkably manageable even at its longest focal length. To switch between 150mm and 500mm, the Zoomring only needs to rotate 75degrees, less than a quarter turn. The desired focal length can be achieved with a small movement. Since the image can be cropped very quickly, it is possible to work very intuitively

Impressive image quality and compact housing

The optical setup comprises 25 elements in 16 groups. Several special lenses, including one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) and five LD (Low Dispersion) elements, as well as two hybrid aspherical lenses, result in effective correction of optical image errors, such as longitudinal chromatic aberration or axial chromatic aberration. Because the 150-500mm F5-6.7 was originally developed for full-frame mirrorless cameras, it delivers exceptionally high image quality on the APS-C sensor throughout the Zoom range, with impressive resolving power in both the center and corners of the image

Fast, precise and quiet autofocus with VXD autofocus

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 features the highly acclaimed VXD technology, which ensures very fast and precise focusing. The VXD linear motor operates almost silently: unlike conventional AF systems, there is virtually no operating noise or vibration. This makes the lens ideal for photo and video shooting in environments where absolute silence is required

VC image stabilization for sharp, detailed images

Despite its slim body, the 150-500mm F5-6.7 has the VC image stabilizer developed by Tamron. Depending on the subject, you can choose between three different VC modes:

• Standard mode for normal subject situations
• Drag-along mode for horizontal panning
• Maximum stabilization of the captured image (without viewfinder image stabilization)

This functionality enables excellent stabilization performance in any situation and efficient reduction of image blur caused by camera shake

Impressive tele-macro shots

The 150-500mm F5-6.7 offers an exceptionally short shortest focusing distance for an ultra-telephoto lens, making it suitable for close-up photography. At 150mm focal length, photography can be done at a distance of only 0.6m, allowing a magnification of 1:3.1. At 500mm, the shortest focusing distance increases to only 1.8m, resulting in the largest possible magnification of 1:3.7. With the 150-500mm, impressive close-ups can be achieved that are not possible with conventional ultra-telephoto zoom lenses
