Fujinon Lens for Excellent Shooting
Extensive Focal Length Range (24mm-624mm) and Bright F-values (F2.8-F5.6)
Featuring a 12-group, 17-element lens configuration, the manual optical 26x zoom is a masterpiece of FUJINON technology. The inspired addition of high optical performance glass lens elements (aspherical, high refractive index, and ED glass lenses) makes the exceptional brightness of F2.8 at wide angle and F5.6 at telephoto possible.
4 Aspherical Lenses
By using 4 high-performance aspherical lenses, the X-S1 delivers sharp image quality with rich resolution. These lenses also contribute to a more compact overall lens configuration and the X-S1's compact body size ensuring you can easily take it everywhere with you.
ED Lens
The X-S1 features ED Lenses for prevention of chromatic aberrations and muddy colours.
In order to minimize chromatic aberration which tends to occur when taking telephoto shots with a long zoom lens, two ED lenses made of extra-low dispersion glass have been adopted in the lens configuration. Adoption of one large-diameter ED lens in the first lens group reduces axial chromatic aberration that can occur at high zoom settings.
Super EBC
All the lens elements used in the X-S1 have been treated with multilayer Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating), the same process used for Fujinon broadcasting video lenses and large-format camera lenses acclaimed by professionals. Reducing ghosting and lens flare, the treatment promises clear image quality.
Versatile Shooting Style
Optimized for exquisite detail all the way to the edge of the image, the FUJINON Lens and the EXR CMOS Sensor are the cutting edge of original FUJIFILM high-performance technology. These key devices have not only been adopted in the new X-S1, but also thoroughly optimized for each other, resulting in a synergy that produces high-resolution photos with exceptional resolution from the center to the edge of the image with extremely few aberrations.
OIS Mechanism
For complete control of the camera, without fear of camera shake. Equipped with a newly developed image stabilization mechanism, X-S1 effectively compensates for camera shake even when you press the shutter to capture a subject at extreme zoom.
Metal Lens Barrel
Designed for fast and precise zoom control for the wide photographic range of X-S1, the X-S1 features meticulous operation that lets you fine tune every shot to perfection. In the easy-to-hold slim zoom lens barrel, the metal cam-driven zoom mechanism delivers a subtle sensation of torque for smooth and precise adjustment.
Soft and Beautiful “Bokeh” Effect
Featuring a 9-blade aperture diaphragm for an expressive “bokeh” effect.
Special attention has been paid to enabling a beautiful “bokeh” effect. The 9-blade aperture diaphragm lets you artistically put the focus on your subject while creating a softly defocused near-circular background.
Sensor and Processor
12 megapixel 2/3-inch EXR CMOS Sensor
Only the EXR CMOS sensor can intelligently switch between three original technologies based on the scene and always capture the moment in exquisite detail and with impressive image quality. Featuring FUJIFILM's bespoke pixel array, the large 2/3-inch EXR CMOS sensor captures images with impressive resolution.
Optimization of the Sensor and Lens
Sufficient light quantity is collected, not only in the centre of the sensor, but all the way to the edge area through optimization of both the image sensor and lens.
EXR Processor
Working in tandem with the 2/3-inch EXR CMOS sensor, the EXR Processor achieves a new level of performance. Tapping into the power of its two CPUs, EXR Core and a reconfigurable processor*, it provides powerful and speedy processing, even Full HD Movie and high-speed continuous shooting.
* Processor with rewritable circuits that can dynamically adapt to perform complex corrections and processing tasks.
