” News from Fujifilm, with the presentation of the new Fujifilm X100T camera in retro style; the several new features including an innovative electronic rangefinder and shutter speed (electronic), which goes up to 1/32000 of a second. ”
The first model of the Fujifilm X100 family came in March 2011, while a little less than a year later, it was the turn of the X100S model sensor and processor and next-generation Hybrid Viewfinder.
Many fans have enthusiastically greeted these models of ” advanced compact ” (simplistic terms), that wink to the past for design but able to integrate the technology of today.
The news these days are the third generation of the Fujifilm X100 series, which takes its name Fujifilm X100T. According to what was stated by Fujifim, Fujifilm X100T is the first camera on the market to dispose of electronic rangefinder (Electronic Rangefinder), in addition to bringing in dowry the X-Trans CMOS sensor in APS-C II by 16Mpixel, image processor High-speed EXR Processor II and Fujinon 23mm F2 lens.
The sensor can monitor moiré and false colors due to the color filter with a matrix arrangement of pixel RGB highly random, obviating the need of the low-pass filter, while the maximum ISO sensitivity set is well 51200.
Let’s go on to list some of the features: Fujifilm X100T incorporates a new film simulation mode ” Classic Chrome ” can be selected 11 different simulation’s film, including PROVIA / Velvia / ASTIA / Neg.Std PRO / PRO Neg. Hi / SEPIA and three filters for monochrome shots (Ye Filter, R Filter, G Filter).
It also incorporates mode ” Multiple Exposure ” to join two consecutive shots in the same frame and features ” Advanced Filter ” that offer different creative opportunities. Do not miss the shots interspersed with intervals ranging from 1 second to 24 hours up to 999 shots, with the start time programmable.
The rear display is now a 3″ LCD, and 1.04 megapixels, while you must open a parenthesis on the new electronic rangefinder and manual focus in general. To facilitate the manual focus while using the optical viewfinder, the area of focus is enlarged and displayed at the bottom right of the viewfinder (the magnification of the focus can be changed).
A portion of the optical image is darkened to allow the digital display area of focus in the resulting space. The manual focus, who first with the optical viewfinder was difficult to perform, it is now made easier and very similar to what is done with the mechanical rangefinder.
Fujifilm X100T is equipped with seven buttons function Fn customizable. Another customization is possible with ” Q Button ” on the back of the camera: all the 16 functions can be chosen according to user preferences. Important: shooting Full HD video 60,50,30,25 and 24fps, can be made with a view through the optical viewfinder.
The top and bottom of the camera is made of die cast magnesium, in order to be resistant and lightweight at the same time; the exterior is finished with synthetic leather slip-resistant and durable, and the colors available are the classic silver or black. Let optics: the objective 23mm (35mm equivalent), F2 is realized with 8 glass elements in 6 groups and comprises a double aspherical surface lens with high performance and a convex lens at high refractive index.
The diaphragm is made up of 9 blades, while the macro shots are possible at the minimum distance of 10cm. In addition, the built-in ND filter offers exposure compensation equivalent to 3 stops.
The built-in electronic shutter capable of exposures up to 1/32000 sec. The aim is to offer the possibility of using wide-open apertures (and consequent shallow depth of field) even in the presence of very bright light, like the snowy fields or on the beach.
The camera is equipped with Wif-Fi connectivity, and downloading the free application ” FUJIFILM Camera Remote ” for smartphone or tablet. You can use the ” Remote Control ” which allows extensive control of the camera, even at a distance.
