1. Product features

(1) Compact and lightweight body and product design that makes you want to enjoy shooting

  • It weighs approximately 355g and measures approximately 111.9mm in width, 66.6mm in height, and 38.0mm in depth. The extremely lightweight and compact body for a mirrorless digital camera makes it easy to carry around and enjoy photography every day.
  • Despite its compact size, the camera has the high-quality appearance of the “X series”. Symmetrically placed dials on the top surface of the warship section highlight the beauty of the camera.
  • The Film Simulation dial is conveniently placed on the left shoulder of the top face. Users can easily switch between a total of 20 Film Simulation modes according to the subjects and scenes, making it easier to enjoy a variety of color tones in both still and moving images.
  • The top right features a mode dial. In AUTO mode, the camera automatically recognizes the optimal shooting mode for the scene, allowing even first-time digital camera users to easily capture high-quality stills and videos.

(2) Equipped with a high-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine to achieve high image quality and high-performance AF

  • The X-M5 is equipped with the back-illuminated “X-Trans™ CMOS 4” sensor with approximately 26.1 megapixels and the latest high-speed image processing engine “X-Processor 5”. This allows for high image quality photography with low power consumption.
  • The camera features the subject detection AF, developed with deep learning technology, in addition to the existing Face / Eye AF. AI is used to add the ability to detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects and drones*4 .
  • The latest AF predictive algorithm provides high tracking performance for moving subjects and high precision AF in low-contrast environments.
  • Set the Subject Detection Setting to “BIRD” when you want to detect insects and to “AIRPLANE” when you want to detect drones.

(3) 6.2K/30P video recording and other extensive video functions

  • The X-M5 can record 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video onto an SD card inserted in the camera, and also supports extensive video functions including 4K/60P and 1080/240P capability.
  • The camera is equipped with powerful digital image stabilization. It is effective not only for minor camera shake but also for large shaking that occurs when shooting video while walking.
  • For the first time in our digital camera lineup, three built-in microphones are equipped. You can choose from four microphone directivity options: surround, front, back, or front & back, depending on the situation. The camera is also the first to feature a steady-state noise reduction function, which reduces noise that continues to ring at a certain frequency, such as air conditioning noise.
  • Vlog mode allows users to change shooting conditions intuitively by touching the LCD. Improvements in the number and placement of icons make video recording even more intuitive. In addition, the new “9:16 short movie mode” allows users to easily shoot vertical videos popular on various social media and smoothly share the captured content.
  • New bit rates of 8 Mbps and 25 Mbps have been added to the bit rates that can be selected in the “Media Recording Settings” when shooting video. This shortens the transfer time to external devices such as smartphones, and contributes to shortening the time required to upload captured video directly to social media.
