FUJIFILM X-M5 Features
A compact, lightweight body and product design that will make you want to enjoy photography
- Weighs approx. 355g and measures about 111.9mm wide, 66.6mm high, and 38.0mm deep. As a mirrorless digital camera, it is lightweight and compact, so you can carry it around every day and enjoy shooting with ease.
- Despite its compact size, it has the high-quality appearance that is a feature of the “X Series.” It features dials arranged symmetrically on the top of the main body.
- A film simulation dial is located on the top left corner of the camera. You can intuitively switch between 20 different film simulation modes to suit the subject or scene, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of color expression.
- A mode dial is located on the top right corner. In AUTO mode, the camera automatically detects the optimal shooting mode for the scene, allowing even first-time digital camera users to easily capture high-quality still images and videos.
High-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine, producing high image quality and high-performance AF
- Equipped with a back-illuminated 26.1MP “X-Trans CMOS 4” sensor and the latest high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5”, it is capable of capturing high-quality images while reducing power consumption.
- It is equipped with face and eye AF. In addition, by adopting subject detection AF developed using deep learning technology, it uses AI to detect animals, birds, cars, motorbikes, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones.
- The latest AF prediction algorithm provides high-precision AF even in low-contrast environments, as well as excellent tracking of moving subjects.
Supports 6.2K/30P video recording and other video recording functions
- Camera capable of recording to the camera’s SD card at 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10bit. It also supports 4K/60P and 1080/240P, providing a full range of video recording functions.
- Equipped with powerful electronic image stabilization, it is effective not only against minor camera shake, but also against larger shakes that occur when shooting video while walking.
- This is the first digital camera from the company to feature three built-in microphones. You can choose the microphone directionality from four options: omnidirectional, front, back, and front & back, depending on the situation. It is also the first camera to feature a constant noise reduction function, which reduces noise that continues to ring at a certain frequency, such as the sound of an air conditioner.
- Equipped with “Vlog mode” that allows you to intuitively change shooting conditions by touching the LCD. Improved number and layout of icons allows for more intuitive video shooting. In addition, the newly installed “9:16 short video mode” makes it easy to shoot vertical videos that are popular on various SNS, allowing you to share your shooting content smoothly.
- New bitrate options of 8Mbps and 25Mbps have been added to the options available in the “Media Recording Settings” when shooting video. This shortens the time it takes to transfer video to external devices such as smartphones, and cuts the time it takes to upload footage directly to social media.
