Fujifilm X-E5

The Refined Classic

A modern classic can’t simply mimic what has gone before. Nor can it ignore what has preceded it. It should respect its lineage, by refining a concept without losing its essence. FUJIFILM X-E5 embodies what it means to be a modern classic, combining a sophisticated, elegant design with analog controls that inspire image making

Design

Crafted solely from machined aluminum, the top-plate retains the essence of a classic camera with its angular design. This stunning look comes together with tactile handling to create a camera that’s a joy to use.

Machined Aluminum Top-Plate

The top-plate is carved from a single piece of metal, not only enhancing the look and feel of the FUJIFILM X-E5, but also improving the dial operation. Additionally, an anodized finish gives the body a refined, high-quality aesthetic.

New Film Simulation Dial

The newly designed Film Simulation dial features a precision-cut indicator window that minimizes the gap between dial and body for an exact finish. Additionally, you can individually set Film Simulation and image quality settings to the FS1-FS3 positions, allowing you to save your own FS recipes.

Mastering the Details

Refinement is central to every aspect of FUJIFILM X-E5’s design. The viewfinder and diopter adjustment control, for example, fit flush with the body, while the Bluetooth button on the base plate evokes the look of the rewind button on classic film camera.

The Joy of Photography

FUJIFILM X-E5 doesn’t just look good. It also offers a stunning viewfinder and beautiful analog controls. This is a camera designed to bring joy to your image making.

New Classic Display Mode

The new Classic Display mode* provides a clean viewfinder image with key information at the bottom of the frame. Combined with a body style that allows you to operate the dials and the lever with one hand, you can immerse yourself in image making with the camera to your eye.

Surround View Mode

FUJIFILM X-E5’s Front Control Lever accesses the Surround View function, which displays a semi-transparent or outlined area outside the image. This provides an OVF-like experience, enabling you to see outside the EVF frame so you can easily monitor what’s about to come into frame.

Evolved Mobility

Despite being similar in size to its predecessor, X-E5 is the first in the camera series that features a powerful five-axis IBIS mechanism offering up to 7.0 stops in the center and 6.0 stops at the periphery*. This makes it an effortless, “daily carry,” that remains adaptable to the most challenging scenarios.

Latest AF Algorithm

FUJIFILM X-E5 incorporates an impressive autofocus prediction algorithm for reliable focusing even when recording continuously moving subjects. Autofocus enhancements are most notable in Zone AF and low-contrast situations.

Subject Detection Autofocus

FUJIFILM X-E5 uses X-Processor 5’s subject detection AF to accurately track a range of subjects. Built using deep-learning AI technology, it detects animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones.*

*Set the SUBJECT DETECTION SETTING to BIRD for insect detection, and AIRPLANE for detecting drones

Film Simulations

The 20 Film Simulation modes offered by FUJIFILM X-E5, including REALA ACE, harness 90 years of Fujifilm color science.

• REALA ACE: Based on REALA ACE, this 20th Film Simulation combines faithful color reproduction with hard tonality, making it suitable for all subjects and situations.
• ACROS: Based on ACROS, a monochrome film renowned for super- fine grain, this Film Simulation mode delivers rich shadow details and excellent sharpness.
• PROVIA/STANDARD: Based on FUJICHROME PROVIA, a reversal film designed for professional use, this Film Simulation mode caters for all subject types, offering a neutral color reproduction.
• VELVIA/VIVID: Based on FUJICHROME Velvia, an ultra-vivid reversal film designed for professionals, this Film Simulation mode provides richer and more high-contrast colors than the PROVIA/STANDARD. It is a favorite of landscape photographers.
• ASTIA/SOFT: Based on FUJICHROME ASTIA, a reversal film designed for fashion portraiture, this mode prioritizes soft and faithful reproduction of skin tones, while also depicting vivid blue skies and greenery.
• PRO Neg. Std: Based on PRO160NS, a color negative film for professionals, this Film Simulation mode has a soft tonal gradation and excellent skin tone reproduction. Ideal for portrait photography under carefully controlled lighting. The neutral tonality renders itself well to post-processing.
• CLASSIC CHROME: This Film Simulation mode is designed to reproduce a look similar to documentary magazines of the 20th century. Its low saturation and hard tonal gradation in shadows make it a perfect choice for documentary photography with a touch of realism.
• CLASSIC Neg.: Based on SUPERIA, a color negative film loved by generations of photographers, this Film Simulation mode provides high-contrast tonal gradation. It adds depth and definition to colors by adjusting their shades in highlights and shadows, while reducing saturation.
• NOSTALGIC Neg.: NOSTALGIC Neg. evokes the color reproduction of iconic works from the seventies, which brought the possibilities of color expression to the world and established it as art, reminiscent of the New Color movement. The unique tonal rendering softens highlights with an amber hue while preserving detail in the shadows, allowing for vibrant and lyrical images.

Your Film, Your Story

Add a personal touch to every image you make. The Film Simulation dial on FUJIFILM X-E5 offers FS1, FS2, and FS3 positions, allowing you to customize and save your own FS recipes. 

• Color Chrome Effect: For highly saturated subjects, Color Chrome Effect adds depth, detail, and vibrancy in three strengths to red, green, or yellow tones where detail may otherwise be lost. Or use Color Chrome FX Blue to boost the blue tones in an image.
• Clarity: The Clarity control lets you decide whether to recreate a scene with a crisp sharpness, defining edges and boosting contrast, or with a soft feel. With 11 levels of control, it's easy to fine-tune to your personal taste and style.
• Smooth Skin Effect: Ideal for portraiture, this function smooths skin texture for a more flattering complexion.
• White Balance Shift: For white balance, choose Auto, Custom, Color Temperature, or a series of preset options. White balance can be fine-tuned in the WB Shift feature with red (R) and blue (B) color coordinates.
• Grain Effect: From subtle textures to the gritty look of traditional high-ISO film stocks, with FUJIFILM X-E5 you can easily add natural-looking grain to your photos. Control the strength and size for just the right amount of texture on any image.
