15.01.2016
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is proud to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM X-E2S, the latest premium mirrorless camera to join the world-renowned X-Series. The X-E2S has a durable, compact and lightweight body with a Real-Time Viewfinder that offers a large display magnification of 0.62x*1 and an electronic viewfinder with the worlds shortest display time lag*2 of 0.005 seconds. It also comes equipped with an AF system that excels at capturing moving subjects. The new X-E2S model inherits the functionality and rangefinder-style design of the original X-E2, and adds new features including an improved grip, an electronic shutter and a more intuitive GUI to enhance the user experience.
Key features on the X-E2S Real-Time Viewfinder in a rangefinder-style model The 2.36 million-dot organic EL display and dedicated viewfinder lens enables the X-E2S to offer a display magnification of 0.62x with a clear and high-definition viewfinder screen. In addition, the worlds shortest display time lag of just 0.005 seconds ensures photographers can capture every shooting opportunity while looking at the live view through the viewfinder.
Compact and lightweight body with improved handling and optimised grip Popular features of the X-E2 including top-plate dials and a compact and lightweight body weighing just 350g have been transferred to the X-E2S. In addition, the optimised shape of the grip enables users to change settings quickly while holding the camera. The seven function buttons on the top and back of the body can be customised to the user's needs. The Auto Mode Switch provides the function of the fully automatic Advanced SR Auto mode which recognises the scene type automatically and optimises settings for the best possible photograph.
APS-C X-Trans *3 CMOS II sensor with built-in phase detection AF and EXR Processor II image processing engine combine to deliver superb results The camera's phase detection AF enables the X-E2S to deliver a speedy performance with autofocusing in as little as 0.06 seconds*4, a start-up time of 0.5 seconds*5, shutter time lag of 0.05 seconds and a shooting interval of 0.5 seconds*6. With Fujifilm's unique sensor technology developed through many years of research and development of photographic films, the X-E2S delivers stunning results.
New AF system for capturing moving subjects The new AF system in the X-E2S adds the new Zone and Wide/Tracking options to the existing Single Point mode to focus on one of 49 points for fast and precise focusing The new modes offer a vastly improved focusing performance on moving subjects across the 77-point AF area.
A comprehensive line-up of 21 high-performance FUJINON X-mount lenses, covering ultra-wide-angle to super telephoto options The latest digital technologies have been used to develop X-mount lenses, which offer high-precision optical designs for the best possible image quality. Including the FUJINON XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR announced today, the XF line-up has been expanded to 21 lenses, all of which deliver incredible definition when used with the X-E2S.
Product Features Compact, rangefinder-style and lightweight body features improved grip and dials for easy operation
Popular features from the X-E2, including top-plate dials and a compact and lightweight body weighing just 350g have been transferred to the X-E2S. In addition, the shape of the grip has been improved to enable users to quickly change settings while firmly holding the camera. The X-E2S is designed to perfectly replicate the rangefinder-style shooting experience. Candid shots can easily be captured coupled with the near-silent shutter.
Both the top and front covers are made of lightweight and highly rigid die-cast magnesium. A special coating is applied to give a steel-like finish and a more clearly defined top-plate.
The top-plate features shutter speed and exposure compensation dials. The settings of dials as well as a lens with an aperture ring can be checked at a glance even when the camera is turned off. In addition, the precision-milled aluminium dials operate with a reassuring click' giving the X-E2S a premium look and feel.
The X-E2S features two command dials and seven customisable function buttons
The camera can be switched to fully-automatic mode with the Auto Mode Switch. With Advanced SR Auto mode, the camera automatically selects the optimal settings for the scene.

The camera features Fujifilm's APS-C 16.3 megapixel X-Trans CMOS II sensor. Its unique, random colour filter array reduces moir and false colours without using an optical low pass filter which compromises image quality. The elimination of t
