Imaging

 

X-Trans™* CMOS III Sensor for high quality image.

The FUJIFILM X-E3 features Fujifilm’s X-Trans CMOS III, a 24.3-megapixel APS-C sized sensor renowned for outstanding image quality when combined with high performance XF lenses. Thanks to its random pixel array, the sensor cuts outs moiré and false colors without needing an optical low-pass filter, plus it delivers impressive noise reduction up to ISO 12800. The sensor also offers excellent read speed, helping to improve the camera’s response in the burst mode, high-accuracy AF tracking, high-speed live view and high-quality video performance.

 

X-Processor Pro with advanced image processing capability

The FUJIFILM X-E3’s X-Processor Pro image processing engine delivers a processing speed roughly 4x faster than previous models. The increased buffer memory boosts performance, drawing out the best from the X-Trans CMOS III sensor. This means that ACROS has now been added to the popular set of Film Simulation modes, which are available for both stills and 4K video. X-Processor Pro also enhances overall performance with shorter shooting intervals, shutter release time lag and blackout time, as well as improving AF accuracy and the number of continuous frames possible in the burst mode.

 

Sensitivity

In addition to ordinary ISO levels, the camera is capable of using extended ISO levels, including ISO100/125/160/25600/51200. It is also capable of recording in RAW. The AUTO function allows you to set the standard ISO, low shutter speed limit and upper ISO limit, and configure AUTO 1 – 3 settings according to shooting conditions.

 

High Performance

The CPU for high-speed processing. The Buffer memory has also been increased for an even faster response.

 

Continuous shooting

Continuous shooting performance up to 8.0fps, allowing for continuous capture of fast-moving subjects.

 

Focusing

 

New AF algorithm for smooth continuous shooting.

Thanks to the newly developed image recognition algorithm, the FUJIFILM X-E3 is able to track moving subjects twice as fast as previous models*. In addition, the FUJIFILM X-E3 is also able to track moving subjects of half the size as before.

 

Phase Detection AF area

Choose between 91 or 325 focus points. The fast and accurate phase detection pixels cover 50% [side-to-side] and 75% [top-to-bottom] of the frame.

 

AF modes

The camera offers Single Point AF for accurate focus on a single focus point, Zone AF for a moving subject and Wide/Tracking AF. If “ALL” is selected, it is possible to seamlessly switch the AF mode using the rear command dial.

AF-S + Single Point	For capturing subjects using a specific AF point
AF-S + Zone	For capturing subjects across a large AF area (3×3, 5×5, 7×7)
AF-S + Wide	For automatically capturing a subject across the frame
AF-C + Single Point	For continuous spot-focusing
AF-C + Zone	For tracking a subject within a selected area
AF-C + Tracking	For continuously tracking a subject across the frame

 

AF-C Custom Settings

The camera offers five AF-C presets for a variety of different subjects.

SET 1	Standard setting
SET 2	Ignoring obstacles
SET 3	Accelerating / decelerating subjects
SET 4	For subjects that suddenly come into the frame
SET 5	Erratically moving subjects

 

Film Simulation

 

Film simulation focus on the philosophy of color-creation

 CLASSIC CHROME

 ACROS

Incorporating knowledge accumulated during over 80 years of film production, Film simulation allow users to enjoy a rich variety of color and gradation reproductions according to their subject, shooting scene, and expression intent. Users can choose from a total of 15 different types, just as if they were changing films.

PROVIA / Standard	Standard mode that accommodates a diverse range of scenes
Velvia / Vivid	Reproduction of vivid primary colors. Ideal for landscape and nature photography
ASTIA / Soft	Soft tones combined with a saturated pop of colors.
ACROS (+ Ye/R/G FILTER)	New monochrome mode with perfectly rich gradation
CLASSIC CHROME	Added tonal depth for a documentary photography look
PRO Neg. Hi	Natural skin tone reproduction
PRO Neg. Std	Soft tones with low saturation for unique snapshots
MONOCHROME (+ Ye/R/G FILTER)	Standard monochrome mode that accommodates a diverse range of scenes
SEPIA	Warm sepia tone for a retro effect

 

Grain Effect

 Grain Effect OFF  Grain Effect ON (Strong)

By adding grain to selected photos, it is possible to give photos a texture with a film-like tone. The user can select from OFF, weak, and strong.

 

Functions

 

4K Movie Shooting

Support for shooting high quality 4K movies at 29.97 fps with a quality of 100Mbps. Also supports authentic movie shooting, allowing for the external microphone inputs and HDMI monitor output. Film simulation can also be selected even during 4K movie shooting, allowing users to enjoy a variety of video expressions.

 

Advanced Filters

 Dynamic Tone  Partial Color (Green)

Apply various filter effects to create unique images. 8 effects are available, including Toy Camera for a retro look, Miniature for a diorama effect, Pop Color for high contrast and saturation, as well as High Key, Low Key, Dynamic Tone, Soft Focus and Partial Color (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple). All effects can be previewed as you shoot on the LCD screen.

TOY CAMERA	Create shaded borders as taken by toy cameras, creating a nostalgic effect
MINIATURE	Create top and bottom blur for diorama effect
POP COLOR	Emphasize contrast and color saturation
HIGH-KEY	Enhance brightness and reduce contrast to lighten tone reproduction
LOW-KEY	Create uniformly dark tones with few areas of emphasized highlights
DYNAMIC TONE	Create fantasy effect by dynamically-modulated tone reproduction
SOFT FOCUS	Create a look that is evenly soft throughout the whole image
PARTIAL COLOR (RED/ORANGE/YELLOW/GREEN/BLUE/PURPLE)	Retain selected original color and other areas change to monochrome

 

Included Flash

A stylish guide number 8 clip-on flash adds to the great design of the camera.

 

Auto Bracketing

Capable of taking multiple patterns of photos with a single release, the auto bracketing supports 5 different varieties of bracketing, including the standard AE bracketing.

 

Multiple Exposures

The FUJIFILM X-E3 allows you to combine two frames for an artistic effect. The first shot is displayed on the LCD monitor so it can be seamlessly blended with the second frame.

 

Panorama

Pan the camera using the on-screen guide to shoot several frames and the FUJIFILM X-E3 will merge them into an amazing panoramic image. You can choose between “L” for a 180-degree shot and “M” for a 120-degree shot.
