Fujifilm X-T5 body silver + XF 16-55mm f2.8 R LM WR II

Fujifilm X-T5

The FUJIFILM X-T5 offers photographers a perfect overall package: It is equipped with fifth-generation imaging technology - the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans*1 CMOS 5 HR sensor and the fast X-Processor 5 - and offers integrated five-axis image stabilization over up to seven aperture stops (EV)*2. Despite its enormous performance, it is smaller and, at just 557 grams, also lighter than the previous model.*3

Like the previous models in the X-T line, the X-T5 has a centrally positioned electronic viewfinder and several large control dials. Inside, it offers a variety of technical innovations, including a standard sensitivity of ISO 125, a fastest shutter speed of 1/180,000 sec, the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function and the subject recognition autofocus based on deep learning technology, which identifies and tracks various subjects (e.g. animals or vehicles).

The X-T5 records videos in up to 6.2K/30p quality. The high-resolution folding touchscreen monitor and the double memory card slot round off the features of the new camera.

The X-T5 is the ideal tool for demanding photographers who travel a lot and do not want to compromise on image quality. It is as handy as it is versatile and is ideal for fast reportage and street photography as well as for high-quality landscape and portrait photography.

High-resolution X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5

The X-T5 is equipped with a back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, which delivers a very high resolution without disturbing image noise and therefore a brilliant overall image quality.

A further developed pixel structure results in a greater amount of light on the sensor, so that ISO 125 is now available as the standard sensitivity and no longer needs to be selected via the extended ISO range.

The new sensor can also be controlled with extreme precision, allowing ultra-short exposure times. The fastest shutter speed of the electronic shutter has been increased by 2.5 EV steps from 1/32,000 sec. to 1/180,000 sec.

The new sensor opens up new creative possibilities, especially when shooting in bright surroundings. For example, on sunny summer days or on the ski slopes, you can achieve the attractive bokeh effect with the aperture open or freeze fast movements with ultra-fast shutter speeds for maximum sharpness.

Innovative photo functions

With the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function, the camera takes 20 high-resolution images in raw data format one after the other, whereby the image sensor is minimally shifted after each exposure. The resulting individual photos can be combined into a single image file with a resolution of 160 megapixels using the free "Pixel Shift Combiner" software. This function is particularly interesting for photographic documentation and digitization in the fields of art and culture as well as for high-quality still life and product photography.

The camera has a "Soft skin effect" function for a particularly attractive reproduction of skin tones. The post-processing time for portrait shots is significantly reduced, so that high-quality image results are available faster than ever before.

The X-T5 is equipped with automatic white balance based on deep learning technology. The camera recognizes different light sources (e.g. incandescent lamps) even more precisely and adjusts the white balance accordingly.

The X-T5 offers 19 film simulations, including "Nostalgic Negative" for high colour saturation and soft tonal gradations. It supports the HEIF image format, which delivers 10-bit image files that are up to 30 percent smaller than standard JPEG files. With the integration of this function, FUJIFILM underlines its reputation for delivering the highest quality images directly from the X Series cameras.

Integrated Image Stabilizer and Intelligent Autofocus

The in-camera five-axis image stabilization (IBIS) compensates for camera movements over up to seven f-stops (EV)*2. Even at night, at dusk or in other low-light situations, you can shoot freehand. The IBIS mechanism also enables the "Pixel Shift Multi-Shot" function via the high-precision shift of the image sensor.

The X-T5 is equipped with an innovative autofocus system that allows the photographer to concentrate fully on the subject and the composition of the picture. They can trust the camera to focus reliably and precisely on the subject. The X-T5's autofocus system 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 and trains in focus.

The 40.2 megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR has more phase detection pixels than the previous image sensors in the X series, which results in even more precise focusing in AF-S mode, for example in landscape or portrait shots. A new AF algorithm for predicting object movement enables even more reliable focus tracking in continuous focus (AF-C).

Convenient operation

The top of the X-T5 has three control dials for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity and exposure compensation. Like the aperture ring on many XF lenses, they allow the most important exposure parameters to be controlled even when the camera is switched off. This makes the X-T5 the ideal tool for transferring your own creative intuition directly into the image production process.

The new LCD monitor offers a resolution of 1.84 million pixels and can be tilted in three directions. When shooting from the hip or overhead, for example, the display remains in the optical axis and is always easy to read, so that comfortable and unrestricted working is possible even in demanding shooting situations.

The electronic viewfinder of the X-T5 offers a high-resolution viewfinder image with 3.69 million pixels and 0.8x magnification. The image is optimally corrected and free of parallax errors and distortion, which otherwise often occur when the eye position changes.

The further development of the IBIS mechanism, the electronic viewfinder and other components allows a compact and lightweight design. Despite its performance, the camera weighs just 557 grams*4 and handling has been optimized, with improved operability of the dials and buttons. The weather-resistant body can be used in damp and dirty environments without worry.

Advanced video functions

The X-T5 records video in 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit format. In 4K HQ mode, the camera uses the depth of detail of the 6.2K data for internal oversampling to generate a superior quality 4K image. The X-T5 supports F-Log2, which provides an extended dynamic range of more than 13 stops, offering further creative potential in video editing.

12-bit RAW video files can also be recorded and saved as Apple ProRes RAW*5 at 6.2K and frame rates up to 29.97 frames per second when combined with a compatible Atomos external HDMI recorder. In combination with the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G series monitor recorders, the raw video data can be saved as Blackmagic RAW in up to 6.2K quality and 29.97 frames per second

Fujifilm XF 16-55mm f2.8 R LM WR II

The Fujinon XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II is the successor to the popular fast standard Fujinon XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR lens and is the new flagship model of the XF lens range. At just 410 grams, it is a good third lighter than its predecessor. Thanks to an optimized lens configuration, it also achieves even better imaging performance over the entire Zoom range.

The lens covers the frequently used focal length range from 16 mm to 55 mm (equivalent to 24 mm to 84 mm KB) and offers a consistently high speed of F2.8. It is suitable for a wide range of subjects, such as nature, landscape and portraits. The XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II is the first XF lens to feature mechanical aperture stop deactivation, which enables stepless and silent aperture control when shooting video. With its high performance and universal usability, the new lens expands the visual expression possibilities in photography and filming

. High image quality and speed

The XF16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR II offers a constant speed of F2.8 over the entire focal length range from 16mm wide-angle to 55mm telephoto (equivalent to 24mm to 84mm KB). The optical design comprises 16 elements in eleven groups, including four aspherical lenses, one Super ED lens and three ED lenses. This lens system ensures high resolution right into the corners of the image and minimizes optical colour errors (chromatic aberrations) even at large apertures.

The ultra-precise production of the aspherical lenses allows an even softer and more beautiful bokeh effect compared to the predecessor model, as disturbing ring patterns are better suppressed. The shortest focusing distance over the entire focal length range is just 0.3 meters, enabling close-ups with a magnification of up to 0.21x.

Compact and lightweight

Advanced optical technologies enable thinner lens elements, making the new lens significantly more compact and lighter. Compared to the previous model, the overall length has been reduced by around eleven millimetres and the housing volume by more than a third (approx. 37.8 %). The new model weighs only around 410 grams, which is also a good third (approx. 37.4 %) less.

The lens has a weatherproof housing. Twelve seals protect the internal components from splash water and dust. The front lens has a water and dirt-repellent fluorine coating that is easy to clean. Combined with an X series weather-sealed camera body, the lens offers reliable performance even during extended use in adverse weather conditions.

Advanced video functionality

The new mechanical iris click-stop deactivation allows you to switch to smooth and silent iris control and exposure control when shooting movies.*1 The advanced design of the lens minimizes focus breathing and thus ensures a constant image section during focusing.

Fast and quiet autofocus

Internal focusing, lightweight focus lens groups and a powerful linear motor enable fast and precise focusing in up to 0.02 seconds.
