Color

FILM SIMULATION MODES -JUST LIKE CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM CAPTURE YOUR PICTURES WITH UNIQUE FUJI COLORS
Color reproduction technology perfected through over 80 years of color film development research, responding to the requests of professional photographers. In addition to the standard PROVIA, the brilliant colors of Velvia, and the muted tones of ASTIA, the user can select from 11 different types, including PRO Neg.Std and PRO Neg.Hi for skin tones and CLASSIC CHROME for a vintage look.

Design

1. DIE CAST MAGNESIUM FOR BOTH THE TOP AND FRONT COVERS
   Die cast magnesium is used for both the top and front covers to ensure a solid, rigid body that remains lightweight at just 350g. The grip, which is shaped to fit perfectly in your hand, helps to deliver high image quality and impeccable overall performance.
2. LCD MONITOR CLEARLY DISPLAYS BOTH IMAGES AND INFORMATION
   The LCD monitor features approximately 1.04M-dots. Both images and shooting information are clearly displayed and easy to see, even in dark scenes. Scratch- resistant reinforced glass provides excellent visibility and reduces reflections.
3. PRIORITY WAS GIVEN TO THE OPERATION OF THE METAL DIALS
   The shutter speed and exposure compensation dials are milled from a metal block. As a result, they’re comfortable to use, easy to grip, perfectly torqued and operate with a reassuring “click.”
4. TWO COLOR OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE
   Silver, with a sophisticated design and textures that stand out, andblack, an unobtrusive color that isperfect for street images, general snaps and reportage work.
5. NEW GRIP ENHANCES OPERABILITY
   The grip enhances mobility to match the rangefinder design, delivering a firm hold and quick dial operation even when holding one-handed.
6. FUNCTION BUTTONS FOR FAST OPERATION
   Seven function buttons are arranged in the easiest-touse positions so you can configure settings intuitively  and quickly, even while looking through the finder.
7. MADE IN JAPAN
   The mark of high quality. “MADE IN JAPAN” shows that exacting standards have been used from design to production to maximise performance and deliver high quality images.

REAL-TIME VIEWFINDER SO YOU DON’T MISS A MOMENT

2.36M-DOT HIGH-PRECISION ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER
The X-E2S is equipped with a 2.36Mdot organic EL electronic viewfinder with 100% coverage. The display is incredibly clear thanks to an optical structure using two glass lenses and one double-sided aspherical lens. Also,
since effects such as Film Simulation and exposure compensation can be applied, you can check how an image will look in real time. It is also possible to display natural tones, just as the naked eye would, by turning the preview picture effects off.

0.62×*1 VIEWFINDER MAGNIFICATION WITH A NEW UITO IMPROVE FRAMING
The X-E2S has a viewfinder magnification of 0.62×, making it larger and clearer than entry-level SLR cameras. A new user interface has been used to deliver an impressive viewfinder performance. A variety of information can be checked while concentrating on framing with the new display information design focusing on size and visibility.

DISPLAY TIME LAG OF 0.005 SECONDS – VIRTUALLY REAL-TIME
The camera’s real-time viewfinder has the world’s shortest display t ime lag of 0.005 seconds*2 making it possible to take panning shots of moving subjects. Combined with the new AF system, it’s a great camera to capture movement.

Control

OPERATION

DIALS OFFER INTUITIVE OPERATION

The shutter speed dial and exposure compensation dial can be changed with the right hand while holding the camera and adjusting the lens aperture with the left hand. Through the combination of settings on the shutter speed dial and aperture ring, Program (P), Shutter Speed Priority (S), Aperture Priority (A) and Manual (M) modes can easily be selected. In addition, fine exposure control is possible with a compensation range of up to ±3.0EV in 1/3 EV steps.

QUICK MENU CUSTOMIZATION AND SEVEN FUNCTION BUTTONS

Pressing the Quick Menu Button allows the user to display and edit 16 shooting options, such as ISO sensitivity and Film Simulation. In addition, the seven function buttons can be used to quickly make setting changes.

SWITCH TO FULL AUTO AT THE PRESS OF A BUTTON

The camera automatically recognizes scenes from 58 different options before selecting the optimal shooting settings. As the focus mode is also set to Auto in this Full Auto mode, it’s ideal for those times when you just want to shoot freely and not worry about missing anything. It is also possible to set your favorite scene using the camera menu.

Autofocus

HIGH-SPEED PHASE DETECTION AF
The camera’s Intelligent Hybrid AF system combines the excellent autofocus speed of phase-detection AF with the strong low light performance of contrast AF. The phase detection pixels in the center of the image sensor deliver autofocusing speeds as short as 0.06 sec*1. In addition, Phase Detection AF tracking abilities in dark conditions have been improved.

CONTINUOUS SHOOTING WITH AF-C

Features advanced motion prediction technology to predict the subject’s movement, enabling high-speed continuous shooting while tracking with AF at up to 7.0fps*2.

FACE DETECTION AND EYE DETECTION AF

In addition to Face Detection, the camera is also equipped with Eye Detection AF to focus specifically on the subject’s eye. This feature is perfect for shooting portraits with a shallow depth of field.

SIX NEW AF OPTIONS TO CAPTURE THE SUBJECT PERFECTLY

Performance

APS-C SENSOR WITHOUT OPTICAL LOW-PASS FILTER
The X-E2S is equipped with an APS-C-sized 16M X-TransTM*1 CMOS sensor. This unique color filter array eliminates the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). This design reduces the occurrences of moiré and false colors to deliver high-resolution images with natural, vibrant colors.

UP TO ISO 51200
Through the combination of the sensor and processor, you can shoot at high sensitivities up to ISO 51200. Deep blacks with less noise are captured even when using this ultra-high sensitivity, and hand-held shooting is now possible in even lower lighting conditions

IMAGE PROCESSING ENGINE DELIVERS HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE

Thanks to the high-speed EXR Processor II processing engine and sensor incorporating phase detection pixels, faster autofocus, start-up time, shooting interval and shutter time lag are achieved.

ULTRA-FAST ELECTRONIC SHUTTER WITH A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 1/32,000 SEC.

The camera is equipped with an ultra-fast electronic shutter with a maximum speed of 1/32,000 sec., so you can take pictures at wide apertures even in bright outdoor scenes. This means you can take full advantage of the bokeh effects from FUJINON XF lenses. A mechanical shutter, electronic shutter, or a combination of the two can be selected.

ADVANCED FILTERS
The camera comes equipped with eight digital filters, including Toy Camera for a retro look, Miniature to create a model effect, and Pop Color for emphasizing contrast and saturation.

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
With Multiple Exposure shooting, users can superimpose two images in one frame. The first shot is displayed while shooting the second, so you can view the final effect before you take the picture. Amber [White balance bracketing ] Blue
AUTO BRACKETING
Choose from five different auto bracketing functions (AE, ISO Sensitivity, Dynamic Range, Film Simulation and White Balance). In each option, the X-E2S captures three images of the same scene in a single exposure, so you can choose your favorite shot later.

MOTION PANORAMA

By simply panning the camera using the guidelines, dynamic 180-degree panoramic images can be taken. A 120-degree panorama setting is also available. Once all the shots are taken, the camera automatically stitches the images to form a single photograph.

Functions

WIRELESS TRANSFER

Remote shooting is possible using a smartphone or tablet. Images can also be transferred to the device, and images stored on the camera can be viewed remotely. In addition, images can be sent to the SHARESP- 1 (sold separately) for printing.

SUPER INTELLIGENT FLASH

Fujifilm’s Super i-Flash delivers the ideal amount of flash for the scene. The X-E2S captures faces perfectly even in backlit or dark conditions. When shooting macro images, the flash prevents the subject and background being washed out.

MANUAL FOCUSING

Focus Peaking highlights high-contrast areas as a guide while focusing manually. Even smoother focusing is possible using the Digital Split Image function, which combines the right and left sides of the image to show sharp focus.

MOVIE SHOOTING

A wide variety of frame rates (60/50/30/25/24fps) can be selected with Full HD movie quality. Manual exposure can also be adjusted to help you create the movies you want.
