High image quality and performance achieved by high-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine

The fifth generation of the X Series is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor. The latest image processing algorithm delivers high resolution while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio.

The improved pixel structure allows more light to be captured efficiently, ISO 125 is adopted as the normal sensitivity, which was previously used as the extended sensitivity for cameras. In addition, the electronic shutter can be set to a shutter speed of 1/180000 sec. at the fastest, achieving highly precise control of exposure time. Shooting with a large aperture lens at a wide open aperture can be performed in a wide range of scenes.

Equipped with an AI-based subject detection AF developed using deep learning technology, the camera now can detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones. In addition, the camera is equipped with an AF prediction algorithm that is more advanced than that of previous models. This enables more comfortable shooting of a wide range of subjects, including fast-moving cars and animals

There are a total of 20 Film Simulation modes available for the X-T50 including "REALA ACE," which combines accurate colour reproduction and crisp tonal gradations. The user can enjoy a wide variety of colour expressions as if they were selecting a photographic film according to the subject or scene. The high pixel count of approximately 40.2 megapixels is utilised by the digital teleconverter function. Images can be magnified 1.4x and 2x.

Enhanced functions to further expand the shooting range

The camera is also equipped with a 5-axis Body Image Stabilisation function with a maximum of 7.0 stops. While maintaining the portability that has been a feature of previous models, it allows comfortable hand-held shooting even in low-light situations such as night scenes, giving the user more shooting versatility.

6.2K/30P video recording is a feature of the X-T50. The tracking AF function is available for high-quality video recording. The camera can shoot in AUTO mode, which detects the scene and automatically selects the optimal shooting settings, simply by operating the AUTO mode switching lever on the top surface of the body. The camera automatically detects the subject and tracks it while keeping it in focus, making it easier to capture high-quality still images and movies.

Sophisticated product design with the ultimate in functional beauty

The rounded body design is newly adopted. The new grip shape fits comfortably in the hand while maintaining a compact size, making it an easy-to-use camera.

With an all-new Film Simulation dial incorporated on the top plate. This allows users to switch between Film Simulation modes with ease according to the subject or scene, letting the user enjoy different colour tones in both still and moving images.

A pop-up flash integrated with the viewfinder is mounted on the top plate. It automatically controls the amount of light and shows its power in dark scenes and backlit portraits.

The new model features the same 1.84 million-dot, tiltable rear LCD monitor as the X-T30 II. In addition, the shape of the grip and the layout of the buttons on the back of the camera have been fine-tuned to give a more comfortable shooting experience of both still and moving images.
