FUJIFILM X-M5 Mirrorless Camera | Silver

For driven creators looking to move away from smartphones and enhance their content, FUJIFILM presents the X-M5 Mirrorless Camera. This compact device features a robust APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor, a user-friendly interface for both audio and video, and an interchangeable lens mount compatible with the complete range of FUJIFILM's X-mount lenses. Additionally, it includes 20 renowned film simulation recipes, advanced AI-driven subject detection autofocus, and a classic, retro-inspired design, making the X-M5 an ideal tool for revolutionizing your creative process.

Bigger Sensor, Better Image

The X-M5, marking the first introduction of an X-M camera in over a decade, is equipped with the same 26.1 MP X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor found in its popular counterpart, the X100V. This sensor is over 16 times larger than the typical smartphone sensor, which enhances its ability to capture light, resulting in more vibrant colors, increased detail, and improved performance in low-light conditions. The sensor's architecture incorporates a randomized pixel arrangement designed to replicate the organic qualities of film, yielding subtle color variations and smooth tonal transitions while minimizing digital artifacts. Furthermore, the larger APS-C sensor facilitates a shallower depth of field, allowing for more pronounced background blur and enhanced subject isolation.

Optimized Audio, 6K Video

The X-M5 has been meticulously engineered to cater to the diverse needs of modern content creators, excelling in both audio and video recording capabilities. It is equipped with three integrated microphones and offers four distinct sound capture modes: Surround, Front Priority, Back Priority, and Front & Back Priority, allowing for tailored audio collection in various scenarios. Additionally, a 3.5mm microphone input provides enhanced control over the audio environment, while advanced in-camera algorithms facilitate voice enhancement and the reduction of background noise.

This camera is capable of producing open-gate 6.2K video at frame rates of up to 29.97 fps, utilizing the full potential of its 3:2 native aspect ratio sensor to achieve superior video quality. Furthermore, the X-M5 incorporates a range of features designed specifically for self-recording, most of which can be conveniently accessed through the camera's Vlog mode.

• Background Defocus mode blurs the background to focus on the camera's main subject
  
  
• Product Priority mode automatically switches focus to a product placed closer to the camera, ideal for reviews and demonstrations
  
  
• Portrait Enhancer mode applies skin-smoothening algorithms in Weak, Medium, and Strong options
  
  
• 9:16 Short Movie mode offers a cropped 9:16 vertical recording option in 15, 30, and 60 second options for internet-ready content straight from the camera
  
  
• A prominent red outline appears around the screen when the camera is recording
  
  

Subject Detection Autofocus

The X-Processor 5 incorporates advanced subject detection autofocus, powered by deep-learning AI technology. This system not only excels in autofocus tracking and detection of human faces and eyes but also possesses the capability to automatically identify and track a diverse array of subjects. These include animals, birds, vehicles such as cars and motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones.

The FUJIFILM X-M5 features Fujifilm's advanced predictive algorithm, enabling precise autofocus capabilities for subjects, even in challenging conditions that involve tracking moving objects or in low-contrast settings. This camera effectively tracks a diverse array of subjects, such as athletes and wildlife, as well as any objects in motion.

Film Simulations and Color Science

FUJIFILM, recognized for its expertise in color science, has equipped the X-M5 with 20 Film Simulation modes that emulate the aesthetic of various iconic film types produced by the company. These simulations allow for true-to-life image results, with eight modes conveniently accessible via one of the camera's top dials. This feature can streamline workflows by enabling the production of edited images directly from the camera.

Beyond the emulation of specific film types, the camera also includes a Grain Effect mode, which mimics the appearance of vintage film photographs, providing an organic textured quality. Additionally, the Color Chrome and Color Chrome Blue effects enhance color depth, tonal response, and gradation, resulting in more vibrant and saturated colors.

Design and Build

The X-M5 represents the most compact and lightweight model within the X-series, weighing 12.5 ounces without a lens and measuring 4.4 inches in width. Adhering to the FUJIFILM aesthetic and the design principles of the X-series, this silver rangefinder-style camera is equipped with a series of top-mounted dials for selecting modes, film simulations, and adjusting various settings. Its interchangeable lens mount is compatible with over 35 X-series lenses, and it also allows for the attachment of other lenses using an appropriate optional adapter.

This camera is equipped with a 3-inch articulating LCD touchscreen, specifically designed for self-taping. In response to the needs of content creators, FUJIFILM has repositioned the connector ports to the right side of the camera, thereby reducing the likelihood of wires obstructing the monitor. Additionally, the microphone port has been relocated from the side to the rear of the camera to better facilitate the use of content creation accessories.

• The incorporation of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity facilitates the wireless transfer of images to a mobile device, as well as enabling remote control of the camera through the device.
  
  
• The integration of Frame.io Camera to Cloud enables the immediate delivery of photos or videos to the cloud shortly after their creation.
  
  
• The camera features a single SD memory card slot that is compatible with the UHS-I standard.
  
  
• The supplied NP-W126S battery offers approximately 45 minutes of continuous 6K recording or the capacity to capture up to 440 images in Economy mode.
