Fujifilm India, a photographic technology company has announced the launch of its new flagship camera under the X Series named the X-T5. This new digital mirrorless camera comes with a compact and lightweight body and superior image quality which is based on the company’s proprietary colour reproduction technology. Priced at Rs 1,69,999, the new premium camera will be available to purchase from authorized retailers and via Fujifilm’s e-commerce website.
The X-T5 premium camera has performance enhancements such as improved image quality, the fastest shutter speed of 1/180000 sec and the use of Pixel Shift Multi-Shot to expand photographic variations. Other features include the Smooth Skin Effect, Subject Detection AF capable of detecting animals and birds, and AI-based high-precision auto white balance, assisting users in producing high-quality photographic images. The camera inherits X-T Series’ signature Center Viewfinder style and dial operation design. The camera comes with a three-way tilting LCD screen making it more comfortable than ever before to shoot in a vertical position or at waist level.

The X-T5 features the fifth-generation devices, i.e. the back-illuminated 40.2MP sensor “X-TransTM CMOS 5 HR”*2 and the high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5,” in its compact body which is smaller and lighter than the previous model*1, as well as advanced features including the 5-axis in-body image stabilization of up to 7.0 stops*3. This is the new standard camera for still photography, delivering superior performance and mobility at the same time.
