Nine years ago Fujifilm released an iconic camera and today we're going to
take a look at the fifth iteration of this camera. so if you're interested keep
on watching.
Welcome back to the Fuji Guys channel. My name is Francis so today we are going to
take a look at the brand new Fujifilm X100V. For the first time in the
history of the X100 line everything has been updated; from the design of the
camera, the viewfinder, the sensor, the LCD screen and even the lens has been
updated. We're gonna take a look at all these features in this video.
The X100V comes in two different colors. You have the classic silver as well as a
black finish. In terms of sensor and processor the X100 line now is up on par
with technology with the latest Fujifilm camera so: X-Trans IV as well as
X-Processor IV. Up next we have the lens, which is still 23 mm f/2 but
it's the second version. You can still focus up to 10 centimeter close and it
still features that leaf shutter that makes it so quiet and also can sync up
with higher sync speed when doing flash photography. In terms of lens design,
it now features two aspherical elements which makes the lens much sharper even
when shooting wide open. The built-in ND has been improved as well. We've gone from
three stop to four stops now. So when you're shooting in bright daylight so
you want to shoot wide open you get that extra stop of light that's been blocked.
When it was first introduced, the big appeal of this camera was that it was
featuring a hybrid viewfinder so you can choose whether you wanted to shoot with
an electronic viewfinder or have a more traditional approach and shoot with an
optical viewfinder. From the EVF standpoint, it is bigger, it is brighter
and it has more vivid colors so it's just gonna make your experience so much better.
If you want to shoot with the optical viewfinder you will find your
standard frame lines for your 35mm equivalent fill the view and then you
can see outside the box as well. In addition to that optical viewfinder you
do have an electronic rangefinder feature on this so on the bottom right
corner you'll find a low screen that will allow you to check exposure as well
as focus.
Looking at the back of the camera, we do have a touchscreen that's a higher
resolution now that it's also tilting and when you put it back it also sits
flush to the camera and if you wanted to you can also assign the touch function
as well. Now, looking at the top of the camera we still have our exposure
compensation dial as well as the shutter speed and ISO dial that are combined.
The way you make your adjustment for ISO has been improved. Now you simply pull
make your adjustment push it down to lock it and as simple as that.
Now In terms of connectivity, on the side of
the camera you do have a 2.5 mm port for a microphone or a cable release,
you have a USB-C port that will be useful to charge the camera, transfer
images or also monitor your audio with an adapter from USB-C to 3.5 mm.
Under that, you do have a micro HDMI port which will allow you to feed a
uncompressed signal to a recorder. At the bottom of the camera we do have the SD
card slot as well as the battery which is the NP-W126S battery and because of
the new processor you will get more shots per charge. Now, for the first time
in the X100 line we do have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. With
Wi-Fi you can't transfer images, you can remotely shoot and have a live view but
with the Bluetooth, what allows is that a constant connection between your phone
and the camera, get bluetooth remote release also a times sync,
and geolocation using your phone. That's a really good improvement if you
use this camera for traveling for example. This, being a Fujifilm
camera, of course it features the film simulations which are unique to Fujifilm
and that includes the brand new Classic Negative film simulation but
more than that you do also find the new clarity setting as well as the
tone curve adjustments that we would find on the X-Pro3. And, also some
features like the HDR shooting which will shoot three frames handheld and
then combine them into one and give you a RAW HDR file. You also find features
like the AF range limiter which will allow you to set a minimum and a maximum
focus distance, as well as monochromatic color.
Video recording has been greatly improved for the first time on the X100
line we do find 4k video up to 30 frames per second we do get a bit rate of 200
megabits per second. You have high-speed recording up to 120fps
in Full HD, face and eye detection and continuous you got F-log
internally and for the best video quality you do get 10 bit out of the
HDMI port. You will find also all the good features for video recording
including: zebra, time-coding which will make for a great everyday camera for
both photos and video. So, there's tons of upgrades to this camera; from the brand
new hybrid viewfinder, to the new LCD tilting touchscreen, to the brand new lens.
