Photography enthusiasts can look forward to checking out the latest model of the mirrorless digital camera called the “FUJIFILM X-M5” (X-M5). It will be the lightest model to the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras, which are known for their compact and lightweight body and superior image quality based on the Fujifilm's proprietary color reproduction technology.
The X-M5 is a mirrorless digital camera with a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 355g, making it the lightest camera in the X series.
Despite the light weight, X-M5 is equipped with a full range of functions, including subject detection AF that can detect moving objects such as animals and cars using AI and a 6.2K/30P movie recording function, making it possible to shoot both still images and movies with a single camera.
Additionally, the design features the high-quality appearance characteristic of the X series.
The X-M5 is the perfect camera for a wide range of users, from first-time digital camera users to photography enthusiasts, enhancing the joy of photography.
Explaining about the technicalities, Managing Director Kensuke Aragane shared, “The X-M5 is a mirrorless digital camera equipped with the backside illuminated 26.1-megapixel ‘X-Trans™ CMOS 4*3’ sensor and the ‘X-Processor 5’ high-speed image processing engine, enabling high-quality image capture. A Film Simulation dial is located on the top surface of the warship to switch between ‘Film Simulation’ modes, which allows users to enjoy various color tone expressions as if they were changing photographic films.”
The X-M5 is also equipped with high-performance video recording functions such as 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video onto an SD card inserted in the camera.
In addition, its powerful digital image stabilizer and high-performance built-in microphone support comfortable video recording. As for the Vlog Mode, the newly introduced ‘9:16 Short Movie Mode’ makes it easy to shoot vertical videos.
