Features

What it does, and why that matters

In use

The refined classic

Crafted solely from machined aluminium, the top plate retains the essence of a classic camera with its angular design. That look comes together with tactile handling to create a camera that is a joy to use — and small enough that it comes with you.

Design — 01

Carved from a single piece of metal

The top plate is machined from one piece of aluminium, improving both the feel of the camera and the precision of its dial operation. An anodised finish gives the body a refined, high-quality aesthetic.

Colour — 02

Three positions for your own recipes

The newly designed Film Simulation dial has a precision-cut indicator window that minimises the gap between dial and body. FS1, FS2 and FS3 let you save your own Film Simulation and image quality settings.

20 Film Simulation modes including REALA ACE
FS1–FS3 custom recipe positions
Grain Effect, Colour Chrome and Clarity controls

Image quality — 03

Forty megapixels, and steadier

The 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor and X-Processor 5 are joined, for the first time in this series, by five-axis in-body image stabilisation — making X-E5 an effortless daily carry that still handles difficult conditions.

Up to 7.0 stops at the centre, 6.0 at the periphery
Updated AF prediction algorithm
Subject detection for animals, birds, vehicles and more

Viewfinder — 04

Classic Display and Surround View

Classic Display mode gives a clean viewfinder image with key information along the bottom of the frame. The Front Control Lever accesses Surround View, showing a semi-transparent area outside the frame so you can see what is about to enter it.

Class Mirrorless

FUJIFILM X-E5 embodies what it means to be a modern classic — a sophisticated, elegant design with analog controls that inspire image making. The top-plate is carved from a single piece of machined aluminum, and a newly designed Film Simulation dial lets you save your own recipes to the FS1–FS3 positions.

Despite being similar in size to its predecessor, X-E5 is the first in the series with a powerful five-axis IBIS mechanism offering up to 7.0 stops of stabilization. At its heart is the high-resolution 40.2MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, paired with X-Processor 5 subject-detection autofocus and 20 Film Simulation modes, including REALA ACE. Video reaches 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit in camera.
