Fujifilm Launches X-E2, Claiming World’s Fastest AF Speed

Posted by Broadway Camera on 2013-10-19

The Fujifilm X-E2 Compact System Camera is the perfect combination of speed and size. Its X-TransTM* CMOS II and EXR Processor II harness the full potential of each lens to capture breathtaking quality in every image.

World’s fastest AF speed of 0.08 sec.*1 achieved via the integration of phase detection pixels into the advanced sensor.

High-speed responses from the on-sensor phase detection AF system. Accurate focusing in dark scenes that only contrast AF can deliver. The X-E2 has both, plus Intelligent Hybrid AF for automatic switching to the optimal focusing system for the scene and conditions. A newly developed algorithm improves AF accuracy when shooting low-contrast subjects and dark scenes. The evolved AF system of the X-E2 brings your subject into sharp focus so quickly that priceless moments will never escape your lens.

Instant responses that capture every imaginable moment beautifully. Even in burst shooting, the X-E2’s high-speed AF tracks the subject with precision. The adoption of the dual CPU and improved computational performance has doubled the processing speed when compared with the previous generation processor*2, the start-up time has also improved to only approx. 0.5 sec.*3.

Enhanced Continuous AF performance expands its ease of use. Even while the shutter button is half-pressed, the AF continues to focus on the targeted subject. You can also change the settings and use the Focus Lock as before. Enhanced performance also lets you select the position of the focus target mark. Continuous shooting with AF tracking is also possible with the subject motion predictive AF.

16MP X-Trans II APS-C CMOS Sensor with EXR Processor II. Unique, highly randomized colour filter arrangement removes the need for an optical low-pass filter allowing it to maximize light it receives to capture finer image details better than most DSLRs. Noise is reduced by almost a full stop, even in low light.

Dual Hybrid Autofocus with phase detection: Intelligent Hybrid Autofocus system switches between phase and contrast detection to achieve the best balance between speed and focus precision.

Wireless Image Transfer (Wi-Fi certified) to your smartphone or tablet without an ID, password or other settings. Quickly share your high-quality photos on your blog or social network. The built-in Wi-Fi can also be used to save your photos to your PC.

Built-in Super Intelligent flash automatically delivers the ideal amount of flash for every scene so the X-E2 captures faces clearly
and brightly even in backlit or dark conditions.

Full HD movie 1080p 30/60fps with built-in stereo microphone, manual focus, stereo mic input and film simulation mode

Revolutionary Digital Split Image focusing. Using the phase detection pixels integrated in the X-Trans CMOS II sensor, Digital Split Image is displayed in the LCD or EVF so you can manually adjust for pinpoint focus.—Ideal when working with an open aperture or macro

Focus Peak Highlight: When using manual focus, this function highlights high contrast areas of your subject for smoother, more
accurate focus.

Face Detection optimizes portraits by detecting faces and adjusting focus and exposure to ensure bright, clear results. Detects up
