FUJIFILM X-E5 Mirrorless Camera with XF 23mm f/2.8 Lens (Silver)

Description

Innovation and Flexibility with an Iconic Silhouette

Combining the versatility of interchangeable lenses with the 40.2MP APS-C sensor and the classic, compact design of the X100VI, the FUJIFILM X-E5 Mirrorless Camera delivers advanced image-capturing technology in an analog-inspired package. Designed for creatives who desire more tactile camera operation, the X-E5 features five-axis IBIS, AI-powered auto focus, 14-bit Raw photos, and 6.2K 29.97 fps video. Among the multitude of physical controls is a dedicated film simulation dial that allows quick and convenient navigation between FUJIFILM’s preset stocks and three user-customizable settings.

40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR Sensor & X-Processor 5

Borrowing the 40.2MP APC-C X-Trans 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5 imaging engine from the X100VI, the X-E5 captures vivid video up to 6.2K and striking still images in Raw, JPEG, HEIF, and TIFF formats. This upgraded image-processing system allows for a lower base ISO of 125, minimizing grain and improving low-light performance, and enables the integrated deep-learning AI to identify a wider range of subjects for improved auto focus. With higher resolution comes the ability to get closer to subjects by cropping, and the X-E5 provides this in the form of a teleconverter with digital zoom settings of 1.4 and 2.0x. The native 125 to 12,800 ISO is expandable, reaching a range of 64 to 51,200 in photo mode, and 64 to 25,600 in video mode.

Professional Photo Capture

Designed with street photographers in mind, the FUJIFILM X-E5 merges portability with performance. Capturing stills in a variety of different formats, it provides remarkable straight-out-of-camera images and ensures maximal quality for those who like to tinker in post.

• Raw 14-bit, HEIF 4:2:2 10-bit, TIFF 8-bit, and JPEG still-image formats
• Maximum resolutions of 7728 x 5152 (3:2), 7728 x 4344 (16:9), and 5152 x 5152 (1:1)
• Minimum shutter speeds of 1/4000 (mechanical) and 1/180,000 (electronic)
• Continuously shoot uncompressed Raw images at up to 20 fps with a 1.29x crop
• Long exposure up to 1 hour in bulb mode, 15 minutes in all other photo modes

Customizable Film Emulation

Pairing the digital innovation of FUJIFILM’s Film Simulation modes with a physical, on-camera dial, the X-E5 provides an ergonomic way to customize the look and feel of images as they are captured. Located next to the viewfinder, the dial’s selected setting is visible through a circular window on the X-E5’s aluminum top plate. It features a selection of FUJIFILM’s preset Film Simulation modes and three user-assignable modes that allow creators to customize and save their own recipes for fast recall in the field. The X-E5 includes 20 unique Film Simulation modes, including PROVIA/Standard, Velvia/Vivid, ASTIA/Soft, Classic Chrome, REALA ACE, PRO Neg. Hi, PRO Neg. Std, Classic Neg., Nostalgic Neg., ETERNA Cinema, ETERNA BLEACH BYPASS, ACROS, ACROS + Ye Filter, ACROS + R Filter, ACROS + G Filter, Black & White, Black & White + Ye Filter, Black & White + R Filter, Black & White + G Filter, and Sepia.

Versatile Video Recording

Capable of shooting high-quality 6.2K, UHD 4K, DCI 4K, and Full HD footage in multiple formats, the X-E5 is as dependable recording video as it is snapping stills. The compact hybrid’s AI-powered autofocus keeps subjects sharp, while its frame rate and compression options ensure flexibility in post.

• Maximum frame rate of 29.97 fps in 6.2K, 59.94 fps in 4K, and 240 fps in Full HD
• 425-point intelligent hybrid auto focus with AI-based subject detection
• Record in H.265 and H.264 formats with All-Intra or Long GOP video compression
• Bitrates up to 200 Mb/s at all resolutions for exceptional sharpness and color reproduction

Dynamic Accessibility

For media playback, preview, and menu navigation, the X-E5 features a 3″ touchscreen LCD with three-axis tilting and 1.04m-dot resolution. Offset to the left side of its aluminum top plate is the X-E5’s rangefinder-style OLED viewfinder. With a 2.36m-dot resolution, .62x magnification, and 100% coverage area, the EVF provides an accurate preview of the camera’s capturing area. Emulating a viewfinder from an analog SLR, the EVF can be switched into Classic Display mode, which creates a clean visual interface with only the exposure information remaining. Both the touchscreen LCD and the EVF offer three Surround View modes that dictate whether the outside edge of a frame is outlined, semi-transparent, or fully blacked-out when shooting in aspect ratios other than 3:2.

Improved Stabilization

Built for on-the-go photographers and videographers, the X-E5 packs in-body image stabilization into a compact, lightweight form factor, minimizing camera shake in challenging conditions.

• Provides five-axis sensor-shift IBIS while remaining portable
• Up to seven stops of stabilization at center frame and six stops at the edges
• Shoot sharp, low-light images at slower shutter speeds without a tripod
• The system’s new algorithm and upgraded gyro sensor improve performance.

Classic Design

With its aluminum top plate, improved grip, and timeless rangefinder design, the X-E5 is as aesthetically pleasing as it is sturdy. The analog-style controls provide the user with a tactile experience inspired by film cameras, allowing immediate access to core functions without the need to navigate the digital menu. For added convenience, the shutter speed dial not only includes a multitude of preset speeds, but also an “A” setting for aperture priority, and a “P” setting for program mode. The X-E5 also sports two user-assignable function buttons, a dedicated Bluetooth button, an exposure compensation dial, and a four-position lever for switching between teleconverter modes.

Connectivity & Compatibility

Taking advantage of FUJIFILM’s wide range of X-mount optics and accessories, the X-E5 supports interchangeable lenses and features expansive wired and wireless connectivity.

• Works with over 40 X-mount optics and accessories, including the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR

• USB-C power input and data I/O, Micro-HDMI video output, and 3.5mm stereo mic input

FUJIFILM XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens (FUJIFILM X, Black)

Delivering the flexibility of a 35mm equivalent focal length in an extremely compact, lightweight build, the XF 23mm f/2.8 R WR Lens from FUJIFILM is designed for photographers who require high optical quality without sacrificing portability. Its rounded, 11-blade iris opens to a maximum aperture of f/2.8, providing soft, silky bokeh and ensuring low-light performance.

With a thickness under 1″ and a weight of just 3.2 oz, the XF 23mm lens effectively maintains the form factor of any FUJIFILM X-mount camera it’s attached to while assuring image quality with two aspherical elements to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations. The XF 23mm’s focus can be controlled via AF or its manual focus ring, with subjects remaining sharp as close as 7.9″. Ideal for on-the-go photographers and videographers, the XF 23mm lens features a weather-resistant construction and a 39mm front thread for convenient filter attachment.
