FUJIFILM announces the new X-Pro2 premium rangefinder-style digital mirrorless camera Taking performance to new heights, the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 offers the worlds only Hybrid Multi Viewfinder and features a brand new 24MP X-Trans III sensor
15.01.2016
FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Shigehiro Nakajima) is proud to announce the release of the FUJIFILM X-Pro2 premium interchangeable lens camera. The new model boasts a Hybrid Viewfinder capable of instantly switching between optical and electronic finders, plus an updated image sensor and processor, which dramatically improve image quality. By combining these features with the ultra-high image quality of FUJINON X-Mount lenses and the colour reproduction technology accumulated through more than 80 years as a photographic film manufacturer, the X-Pro2 delivers the best ever results from an X-series camera.
Electronic viewfinders (EVF) used by mirrorless cameras are said to be superior to optical viewfinders because settings including white balance and exposure can be checked instantly, and the displayed image can be enlarged to check focusing accuracy. However, in some cases, photographers prefer a more natural view. In particular, the optical rangefinder, which allows the user to view the subject in almost the same way as the naked eye, is extremely effective and often preferred by documentary, reportage and street photographers. The X-Pro2 is the only interchangeable lens camera in the world featuring a Hybrid Viewfinder system that incorporates both types of viewfinder.
Key features on the X-Pro2 Newly developed 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor The unique random colour filter array reduces moir and false colours without the need for an optical low-pass filter. These colour filters also have the effect of increasing the resolution so, when shooting with a high-resolution Fujinon lens, the camera delivers images with a perceived resolution far greater than the actual number of pixels used.
New high-performance X Processor Pro image processing engine Boasting 4x the processing speed of conventional image processing engines, the X Processor Pro has increased all response times, despite the increased resolution. Write speeds, start-up time and high-speed continuous shooting speeds have all been increased. Combined with the X-Trans CMOS III sensor, the new image processing engine achieves even faster autofocus, lower noise and both tonal and colour reproduction that surpasses the previous EXR Processor II.
The worlds first Advanced Hybrid Multi Viewfinder offering the benefits of both optical and electronic viewfinders The X-Pro2 features optical and electronic viewfinders so users can take advantage of both: optical for a direct view of the subject, electronic to preview settings. The ability to instantly switch between these two types of viewfinders was first installed on the X100 in 2011, but the latest version found on the X-Pro2 is the most advanced Hybrid Viewfinder. It features a Multi-Magnification function that automatically switches viewfinder magnification according to the lens in use and an Electronic Rangefinder that simultaneously displays the electronic viewfinder on top of the optical viewfinder.
New focal plane shutter with a top speed of 1/8000 sec. and flash sync up to 1/250 sec. A faster mechanical shutter gives extra flexibility for aperture selections in bright conditions or when shooting with flash during the day. In addition, while noise and vibration levels typically increase with faster shutter speeds, the X-Pro2 is quieter and vibrates less compared to conventional models thanks to the optimisation of key controls and parts.
Robust, weather resistant body meets the needs of professional photographers. The cameras chassis is made from four pieces of magnesium alloy and is sealed in a total of 61 points on each section, making it dust-proof, splash-proof and capable of operating in temperatures as low as -10 C. In addition, it has dual SD card slots, for more reliable image storage.
Product Features Ultimate image quality thanks to the highest resolution sensor to date in an X-series camera and unique colour technologies developed over more than 80 years as a film manufacturer
The X-Pro2 features the new 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor that uses a unique random colour filter array to reduce moir and false colours without the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF). By eliminating the OLPF the resolving power of FUJINON lenses is maximised to deliver images comparable to a larger, higher resolution sensor.
Fujifilms unique colour reproduction technology, developed through over 80 years of producing photographic film, delivers beautiful colours just as you remember them, including warm skin tones, clear blue skies, and the vivid greens of foliage.
The X-Pro2 features the new ACROS Film Simulation mode. Harnessing the high processing performance of the X Processor Pro, this mode produces smooth tones, deep blacks and rich textures that are far superior to conventional monochrome modes.
A new Grain Effect mode adds graininess to photographs. This mode produces images reminiscent of old film photos, especially when printed
Improved noise reduction has been made possible by an improvement in signal processing technology. High ISO sensitivity performance has also been improved to the point that the whole sensitivity range - up to the maximum ISO 12,800 - can now be used with confidence. Even the higher settings have smoother gradations and deeper blacks, vastly increasing low light shooting options.
An improved electric charge transfer rate and algorithm means ultra-fast readout speeds are possible. This has led to a significant improvement in functions including AF speed and continuous shooting performance.
Ultra-high performance X-Processor Pro boosts processing speeds by 4x that of a conventional processo
