1) World’s first Advanced Hybrid Viewfinder, complete with Electronic Rangefinder

To facilitate manual focusing while using the Optical Viewfinder, the focus area is enlarged and displayed in the bottom right of the viewfinder. Part of the original optical image is blocked and then the digital EVF display is projected in the resulting space. Manual focusing that was previously difficult with the optical viewfinder is made easier, much like a mechanical rangefinder. Focus Peak Highlight and Digital Split Image can also be selected on the enlarged area, and the magnification of the focused area can be changed.

• Compared to the X100S, bright frame coverage has been increased from 90% to 92%
• Real-time parallax correction has been added for more accurate framing. Parallax, the gap between the shooting range frame and actual shooting range when taking pictures close up, is automatically corrected in real time. Reframing after focusing is no longer necessary

Changes to the electronic viewfinder

• Visibility has improved under a variety of conditions, from bright scenes outdoors to dark scenes indoors, by automatically controlling finder brightness
• The Live View display can also be set to “Preview Pic. Effect”, which recreates selected camera effects such as Film simulation modes. Equally, a more natural Live View close to what the naked eye sees can be chosen by turning this option off
• The image within the finder is smoother in low light conditions as it is displayed at the maximum frame rate possible
• Display time lag, inherent problem with electronic viewfinders, has been significantly reduced

2) Increased operability

• On previous X100 series models, setting the aperture to 1/3 stops could only be done with the command lever, now it can be done using the aperture ring. The exposure compensation dial has been extended to ±3 stops. Also, the command lever has been changed to a command dial, and with the addition of a four-way controller, operability has been dramatically improved
• The X100T is equipped with seven Fn buttons, each one of which is customisable. Further user customisation is offered on via the Q Button on the rear of the camera: all 16 functions can be chosen according to the user’s preference
• Die-cast magnesium is used for the top and bottom of the body, for a precise, light and highly durable design. A special coating is used for the surface finish, creating a premium feel
• The exterior is finished with non-slip synthetic leather, which is durable and resilient
• Applying a grooved pattern to the aperture ring, shutter speed dial, and exposure compensation dial improves grip and looks good
• The rear LCD has been ungraded to 1.04M-dot 3-inch monitor, greatly improving visibility
• Each and every part is made in Japan, for high precision and finish

3) New Classic Chrome Film Simulation

Fujifilm’s unique Film Simulation modes mimic the effects of photographic films and help users to reproduce warm skin tones, bright blue skies and rich green trees. Classic Chrome, which delivers muted tones and deep colours, has been newly added to the existing selection.

4) Installed with the fastest electronic shutter at 1/32000 sec., expanding the shooting range

5) Full HD video with the X-Trans CMOS II sensor

• Frame rates can be selected from 60fps, 50fps, 30fps, 25fps and 24fps for Full HD movies, supporting worldwide motion picture formats
• The world’s first*2 videos can be shot with the optical viewfinder, just like using a film movie camera
• Film simulation modes can be used on videos to add creative colour effects, plus bokeh can be created by using the lens’s wide maximum aperture
• Manual exposure can also be set during video shooting. Aperture, shutter speed*3 and ISO sensitivity can be set, allowing videos to be shot just as the user wishes
• A high bit rate of 36Mbps enables clear capture of delicate movement
• High-speed, high-precision focusing thanks to Intelligent Hybrid AF, which switches between phase detection AF and contrast AF according to the scene, even during video shooting. Manual focus is also possible

6) Built in Wi-Fi for shooting from your smartphone or tablet devices*4.

• By downloading the free FUJIFILM Camera Remote app to your smartphone or tablet device, users can use the Remote Control function, which allows a wealth of control, even from a distance. This functionality is great for a wide variety of shots, including group photos, self-portraits and animals in their natural habitat
• Photos and videos can also be sent to devices such as your smartphone with an easy one-touch operation. Pictures and videos on the camera can be browsed, selected, and imported using your smartphone, all without the hassle of inputting an ID or password. It is also possible to add location information acquired by the smartphone, etc., to the image
• Photos can also be sent directly from the camera to the Instax SHARE Smartphone Printer for instant Instax prints
• Wi-Fi Transfer*5 is also supported, enabling backup of the data in the camera onto the computer wirelessly.*6

7) A high-performance system that delivers high image quality and fast response

High image quality and high speed processing capabilities have been inherited from the X100S thanks to the APS-C size "X-TransTM CMOS II" *7 sensor, EXR Processor II image processing engine and FUJINON 23mm F2 lens.

• The X100T’s 16.3-megapixel X-Trans CMOS II sensor controls moiré and fake colours with the X-Trans color filter in which RGB pixels are randomly arranged, negating the need for a low-pass filter
• Combined with the image-processing engine EXR Processor
II, the camera delivers images with impressive levels of sharpness and low noise
• The unique image quality design technology created through years of developing photographic films helps to reproduce warm skin tones, bright blue skies and rich green
• To reduce noise at high sensitivities, a setting of the highest ISO 51200*8 has been made possible through processor noise reduction processing optimisation. Noise is reduced even under ultra-high sensitivities, reproducing tight black colours
• Optical effects that occur by light passing through the lens, such as the diffraction*9 are corrected by the unique Lens Modulation Optimiser*10 which deliver sharp details even when the aperture is set to F16

8) Bright Fujinon 23mm f/2 fixed focal length lens

• A specially designed FUJINON 23mm (approximately 35mm in 35mm format equivalent) F2 lens has an optimal optical design that delivers high levels of sharpness from the centre to the edges of the frame
• The lens is made up of 8 glass elements in 6 groups, which includes one high-performance double-sided aspheric lens and a convex lens made of high refractive glass. Images display minimal aberrations, along with high sharpness, and beautiful colour reproduction. FUJINON's unique HT-EBC coating is applied to the lens control flare and ghosting
• 9 aperture blades are used, allowing for soft, beautiful, circular bokeh
• Macro photography is possible down to 10cm
• The built-in ND filter delivers the equivalent of three stops of compensation
• By placing AF phase detection pixels on the X-Trans CMOS II sensor, AF speeds of approximately 0.08 sec are possible. Intelligent Hybrid AF automatically switches between image phase detection AF and contrast AF depending on the subject and scene, so high-speed and high-precision AF is possible on every scene
• The EXR Processor II has with more than double*11 the processing performance when compared to previous models. The X100T is also starts up in approximately 0.5 sec., has a shutter time lag of about 0.01 sec., and offers shooting interval of approximately 0.5 sec
• High-speed continuous shooting of a maximum of 6fps (25 frames continuously: during JPEG shooting) using the full 16.3 megapixels is possible

9) Other functions

• 11 different Film Simulation modes can be selected, including PROVIA / Velvia / ASTIA / PRO Neg.Std / PRO Neg. Hi / SEPIA, as well as three filter effects (Ye Filter, R Filter, G Filter) for monochrome shooting
• A Multiple Exposure mode allows two shots to be put together on one frame
• Advanced Filter functions offer creative fun. Pop Colour / Toy Camera / Minature / Dynamic Tone / Partial Colour (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple) / and Soft Focus can be chosen, as well as advanced shooting techniques such as High Key and Low Key
• Interval timer shooting is possible. Shooting intervals of 1 second to 24 hours, up to 999 frames, and a start time can be set
• Charging from your PC via the attached USB cable is possible
