<\/a>\nAutofocus has been improved considerably, with the number of focusing points jumping from 49 in previous iterations up to 91 in the X100F, with around 40% of the imaging area covered by phase-detection AF points. Contrast-detection AF has also seen a boost, doubling data read speed, promising better low-light performance in particular.<\/p>\n
The Fuji X100F also sees the return of the Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, first seen on 2014’s X100T, combining elements of both an optical viewfinder and an electronic viewfinder, whose frame-rate is now boosted up to 60fps. In ‘Electronic Rangefinder’ mode, the EVF view pops up as a small window when using the optical viewfinder for checking focus, all while users are using the quick and crisp optical viewfinder. In fully electronic mode the viewfinder allows previewing of exposure, white balance and other settings.<\/p>\n On the outside, the X100F sees the older X100T’s button layout been shifted slightly so that the more commonly-used features are located on the right-hand side, in the hopes that users won’t have to take their eye from the viewfinder to change settings. Perhaps the most important change is the addition of a joystick selector for moving the focus point, as previously seen on the X-Pro2 and X-T2.<\/p>\n There’s also a retro film camera-inspired built-in ISO dial, incorporated into the shutter speed dial. Addressing some users’ concerns about this control’s practicality on the X-Pro2, users can elect\u00a0to change the ISO setting using an electronic control dial when the ISO dial is in its ‘A’ position. The camera’s front is graced with a Fujinon 23mm f\/2 lens which appears to be the same and on previous X100 generations, which gives an\u00a0approximately 35mm equivalent field of view.<\/p>\n Other features include, perhaps unsurprisingly, Wi-Fi connectivity, Full HD video recording, and Fujifilm’s Film Simulation modes, for creative shooting.<\/p>\n The Fuji X100F will be available from February 16th 2017 in black and silver, with an RRP of \u00a31,249.<\/p>\n Also announced today are the Fujifilm X-T20<\/a> and the medium format Fujifilm GFX 50S<\/a>.<\/p>\n _____________<\/p>\n Press release<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) today announces the launch of the latest premium compact digital camera \u2013 the FUJIFILM X100F in February 2017.<\/em><\/p>\n 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\u2019s first Hybrid Viewfinder that can be switched between an optical viewfinder and an electronic viewfinder.<\/em><\/p>\n 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\u2019s first electronic rangefinder function, in an effort to constantly lead the segment of premium compact digital cameras with cutting-edge technologies.<\/em><\/p>\n 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.<\/em><\/p>\n Key features on the FUJIFILM X100F<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Fujifilm’s excellent reproduction of colours and gradation of tones capture premium image quality in both<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n stills and video recording<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The X100F features the 24.3MP X-TransTM CMOS III*1, an APS-C sensor with no low-pass filter boasting the<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n highest performance in the history of the X Series, as well as the X-Processor Pro high-speed image processing<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n engine to deliver outstanding colour reproduction and gradation of tones in both stills and videos with high ISO<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n sensitivity and low noise.

Its highly random pixel array<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n effectively reduces moire\u0301 and false colours without the use of an optical low-pass filter. The elimination of<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n the low pass filter, which is attributed to loss of image resolution, makes it possible to draw out FUJINON<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n lenses’ true capabilities to the maximum extent.

Using X-Processor Pro’s advanced processing capability, the mode offers smooth gradation, deep blacks and beautiful textures to create monochrome images that far outperform the previous Monochrome mode.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u30fb The X100F also has the Grain Effect function for reproducing distinctive graininess seen in photographs taken with film cameras. The function is available in \u201cStrong\u201d and \u201cWeak,\u201d and can be combined with any of the Film Simulation modes. You can easily obtain the effect of film-based photos, notable especially when<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n the image is printed out.<\/em><\/p>\n \u30fb Despite having the pixel count 1.5 times that of the X100T, the new device and its enhanced signal processing technology have successfully controlled digital noise even further. Improved ISO sensitivity means ISO12800, which was part of extended ISOs in the X100T, is now available as a regular ISO option. Even at ultra-high ISO settings, the camera produces low-noise images, reproducing deep blacks and smooth gradation of tones, capturing beautiful images even in low light conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n Perfect for snapshots with quick response and enhanced AF performance<\/em><\/p>\n Enhancement in response performance<\/em><\/p>\n Improvement in basic AF performance<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Basic response specifications have been enhanced to the extreme in the X100F.

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.<\/em><\/p>\n The X100F has an enhanced ability to autofocus on points of light, low-contrast objects and subjects with fine and delicate textures such as bird feathers and animal fur, which have been the weakness of phase detection AF.<\/em><\/p>\n The performance of contrast detection AF, covering approx. 85% of the imaging area, has also been improved. The data read speed has been doubled compared to previous models to achieve AF performance of higher speed and precision. Accurate focusing is obtained even at the low light condition of -3EV.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Six AF modes to be selected according to the type of scenes<\/em><\/p>\n The X100F offers AF-S for stationary subjects and AF-C for moving subjects. For both of these options, you can choose either \u201cSingle Point\u201d or \u201cZone\u201d mode for the type of focus area, as well as the \u201cWide \/ Tracking\u201d mode, in which the camera automatically selects multiple areas for focusing. In the Single Point and Zone modes, use the Focus Lever beside the LCD monitor to instantaneously change the location and size of focus areas.<\/em><\/p>\n \u203b3 ModelscarryingtheX-TransTMCMOSIIsensorandtheEXRProcessorII Evolution of the Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder<\/em><\/p>\n \u30fb The EVF\u2019s frame rate has been boosted to 60 fps.
