Fujifilm X-M5 Mirrorless Camera with XC15-45mm Lens

Bigger Sensor, Better Image

The first X-M camera in more than a decade, the X-M5 boasts the same 26.1 MP X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor as its viral cousin, the X100V, and the same X-Processor 5 as the X100VI. More than 16 times the size of an average smartphone sensor, the X-Trans 4's superior light-gathering abilities mean richer colours, more detail, and better low-light performance. The sensor's design features a randomized pixel array intended to mimic the organic nature of the film, producing nuanced colours and tonal transitions while reducing digital artifacts. Additionally, the larger, APS-C sensor creates a shallower depth of field, unlocking deeper background blur and subject separation.

Optimized Audio, 6K Video

The X-M5 was designed to address the full spectrum of contemporary content creation, excelling in both audio and video capture. The camera has three built-in microphones and four sound capture modes - Surround, Front Priority, Back Priority, and Front & Back Priority - to optimize sound-gathering for specific situations. A 3.5mm microphone socket allows further control over the soundscape, while new in-camera algorithms enable both voice enhancement and environmental noise reduction.

Film Simulations and Color Science

Renowned for its colour science, FUJIFILM has outfitted the X-M5 with 20 Film Simulation modes to reproduce the look and feel of several of the company's storied film types. The camera's true-to-life results can be interpreted with these film simulations, eight of which are accessible on one of the camera's top dials. The modes can simplify workflows by producing edited material straight out of the camera.

Design and Build

The X-M5 is the smallest and lightest X-series body, weighing 12.5 oz without a lens and spanning 4.4" wide. Keeping with the FUJIFILM aesthetic and X-series design philosophy, the silver rangefinder-style body comes with a series of top dials to set mode, film simulation, and adjust settings. The interchangeable lens mount accepts any of the more than 35 X-series lenses, with the option to connect other lenses with an appropriate, optional adapter.

FUJIFILM XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ Lens

The FUJIFILM XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens offers a versatile focal length range equivalent to 23-69mm. Designed with a sleek and compact retractable profile, it is the first power zoom lens in the X-series lineup, providing electronic zoom control for smooth and precise focal length adjustments. The lens includes an optical image stabilization system that reduces camera shake by up to three stops, ensuring sharper images when shooting handheld. Its optical design features both aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, which enhance sharpness and clarity. Additionally, the lens is equipped with a Super EBC coating that minimizes flare and ghosting, resulting in better contrast and color accuracy.

FAQs

1. Does the Fujifilm X-M5 have a microphone input?

Yes, it features a 3.5mm microphone socket for external audio, alongside three built-in microphones with four directional capture modes.

2. What kind of sensor does the X-M5 use?

It uses the 26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor, the same renowned sensor found in the X100V, providing exceptional colour and low-light performance.

3. Is the included XC 15-45mm lens good for video?

Absolutely. It is a power zoom (PZ) lens, which allows for smooth, electronic focal length adjustments that are ideal for video recording. It also features Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) to reduce camera shake.

4. How many Film Simulations are available on the X-M5?

The camera includes 20 Film Simulation modes, allowing you to replicate classic film stocks straight out of the camera. Eight of these are quickly accessible via the top dial.

5. Is the camera body heavy?

No, the X-M5 is the smallest and lightest X-series body available, weighing just 12.5 oz (without a lens) and measuring 4.4 inches wide.

How to Use / Care Instructions

* Lens Care: Keep the Super EBC coating clean by using a blower to remove dust before gently wiping with a microfibre cloth.

* Audio Setup: When vlogging, select the 'Front Priority' sound capture mode to isolate your voice from background noise. Use the 3.5mm jack for professional shotgun or wireless microphones.

* Film Simulations: Experiment with the dedicated top dial to switch between Film Simulations on the fly. This allows you to preview the colour grade in real-time before capturing the shot.
