The fourth generation of the X100 Series. The X100F is the ultimate in premium compact digital camera. X Series most powerful new addition featuring the latest 24.3 megapixel sensor and processor Premium Compact Digital Camera FUJIFILM X100F. Further evolution of the Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, which can switch between the optical and electronic viewfinders.

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) has announced that it will launch the latest premium compact digital camera, FUJIFILM X100F (hereinafter X100F ), which features the unique Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder that can be switched between optical viewfinder (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF), in February 2017.

Fujifilm pioneered a new market segment of premium compact digital cameras in March 2011 with the launch of the FUJIFILM X100, equipped with an APS-C image sensor, high-speed image processing engine, high-performance FUJINON lens and the world's first Hybrid Viewfinder that can be switched between an optical viewfinder and an electronic viewfinder. In February 2013, the second-generation model in the series, FUJIFILM X100S, was released with a newly-developed sensor and image processing engine. The company updated the series in September 2014 with the launch of the FUJIFILM X100T, boasting the use of the world's first electronic rangefinder function, in an effort to constantly lead the segment of premium compact digital cameras with cutting-edge technologies.

The fourth-generation release of the series, X100F, features the latest image sensor and high-speed image processing engine to deliver the highest level of image quality and mobility in the series. This is the ultimate in premium compact digital camera, equipped with the Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder of enhanced convenience. While maintaining the elegant design that has proven to be popular, the new camera has been developed in pursuit for easy operability, reflecting requests from users of previous models.

Key features on the FUJIFILM X100F 1. Fujifilms excellent reproduction of colors and gradation of tones capture premium image quality in both stills and video recording

The X100F features the 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III*1, an APS-C sensor with no low-pass filter boasting the highest performance in the history of the X Series, as well as the X-Processor Pro high-speed image processing engine to deliver outstanding color reproduction and gradation of tones in both stills and videos with high ISO sensitivity and low noise. The Film Simulation modes, developed with Fujifilms philosophy of color reproduction nurtured in over 80 years of photo film research, have further evolved to capture a subjects textures, three-dimensional feel and even the atmosphere surrounding it.

2. Perfect for snapshots with quick response and enhanced AF performance

Basic response specifications have been enhanced to the extreme in the X100F. A startup time of approx. 0.5 seconds, shooting interval of 0.2 seconds** , shutter release time lag of 0.01 seconds** and fastest AF of 0.08 seconds, ensure the camera operates exactly as the photographer intends.

The number of focusing points has been dramatically expanded from 49 in previous models to 91 (up to 325 points). Approx. 40% of the imaging area (center area containing 49 focusing points) is covered with phase detection AF pixels to form a fast and precise phase detection AF area that can be used in a variety of scenes.

3. Evolution of the Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder

You can now change the magnification of the electronic rangefinder, shown in a small window as EVF at the bottom right corner of the optical viewfinder, for enhanced accuracy when checking the focus. The Real Time Parallax 2 Correction function is applied to the focus area in addition to the guide frame to enable assured framing and focusing in the Manual Focus mode.

4. Intuitive and practical operability

New features in the X100F include the Built-In ISO Dial, incorporated into the Shutter Speed Dial reminiscent of film cameras of yesteryear, the Focus Lever, which allows you to instantaneously move the focus area without having to take your eye off the viewfinder, and the C position for enabling 5 stop exposure compensation. Most of the operation-related buttons and dials are concentrated on the right-hand side to allow quick change of settings while firmly holding the camera.

2. Main features on X100F (1) Integrating the image sensor boasting the highest resolution in the X Series, the high-speed image processing engine X-Processor Pro and image design technology developed from over 80 years of photographic film production to achieve ultimate image quality.

The X100F features Fujifilms 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III APS-C sensor. Its highly random pixel array effectively reduces moir and false colors without the use of an optical low-pass filter. The elimination of the low pass filter, which is attributed to loss of image resolution, makes it possible to draw out FUJINON lenses true capabilities to the maximum extent. Coupled with the high-speed image processing engine X-Processor Pro, the X100F produces image quality comparable to that of cameras equipped with a larger sensor with higher pixel count.

Fujifilms proprietary color reproduction technology, developed through the producing photographic films, helps to reproduce warm skin tones, bright blue skies and rich green foliage in beautiful colors, just as you remember seeing in real life.

The Film Simulation function now features the ACROS mode. Using X-Processor Pros advanced processing capability, the mode offers smooth gradation, deep blacks and beautiful textures to create monochrome images that far outperform the pre
