Fujifilm X-M5 Digital Camera Body Black in More Detail
Powerful sensor and processor combination
Fujifilm’s back-illuminated 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 5 are featured throughout Fuji’s range, including in the X-T5, which shares the same high-speed X-Processor 5. This provides twice the processing speed of the previous generation X-Processor 4, enabling deep learning subject recognition, advanced tracking, and a 20% reduction in power consumption.
The 26.1MP sensor delivers proven performance with fast readout speeds, supporting high-speed photography and exceptional video quality, ensuring the X-M5 meets a wide range of content creation demands.
The processor also introduces accurate white balance, leveraging AI-driven adjustments to render beautiful skin tones with more accurate results straight out of camera.
Stunning image quality
With a base ISO of 160 and a maximum 1/32,000 high-speed shutter (in electronic mode) for bright daylight, the sensor and processor combination produce fantastic image quality in any conditions. Wide dynamic range is captured so you retain highlight and shadow details, while the low ISO renders smooth results with reduced noise, even in low light conditions.
You can capture images in RAW to draw out the best quality from the sensor, or shoot with HEIF and Fuji’s predefined Film Simulation modes, which we look at more closely below. Whichever you opt for the X-M5 is capable of stunning image quality which surpasses the capabilities of today’s smartphones.
Updated Autofocus capabilities
The X-M5 offers fast and precise autofocus, with advanced AI-driven subject detection powered by the X-Processor 5. It can recognise and track various subjects, including:
- Humans
- Animals
- Birds
- Automobiles
- Motorcycles and bicycles
- Airplanes
- Trains
Fujifilm’s updated Face/Eye AF algorithm is highly effective at tracking people, even when shooting in burst mode or while subjects are moving continuously across the frame. This enables you to capture difficult subjects more easily, such as fast-paced sports, wildlife, and action, even when they move unpredictably.
The sensor features 425 AF points and AF-C customs settings, ensuring you can come away with more shots in sharp focus throughout a variety of shooting scenarios. There’s even a Sports Finder Mode ready for athletes, birds, and other fast moving subjects, which crops the image to simulate a zoomed-in lens and get you closer to the action.

Advanced photography features
With a continuous burst shooting speed of 8fps in mechanical shutter more and 20fps in electronic shutter mode you can capture high-speed action and subjects which are typically very difficult to acquire. An AF range limiter speeds up subject acquisition through the ability to select a minimum and maximum range where the camera will focus, adding to the options for quicker and more accurate shooting options.
A maximum 1/4000 shutter speed in mechanical and 1/32,000 in electronic mode provides the speed required to capture stunning shallow depth of field images even during broad daylight, without the need for ND filters.
There are lots of photography functions to enhance your results, including:
- Zone Custom Settings
- AF-C Custom Setting
- Colour Chrome effect
- Grain Effect
- Clarity
- Portrait Enhancer LV
Whichever subjects you like to capture the Fujifilm X-M5 Digital Camera is able to keep pace and capture beautiful results.
M for moviemaking
A wide range of movie recording options are available for creators who embrace the X-M5, including wireless frame.io camera to cloud technology, which is built into the body.
Video is available in a wide variety of professional formats including via HDMI for 12-bit ProRes and BlackMagic RAW. The camera also records 6.2K/30p 4:2:2 10-bit Open Gate, which means it uses the full sensor area for the best possible quality, and enables multiple aspect ratios from one take.
Adding the optional Fujifilm FAN-001 allows for 60+ minutes recording in hot ambient temperatures, although you can record for extended periods in cooler conditions without needing the fan.
UVC webcam mode caters to effortless streaming and live content productions in up to 4K/60p, while the optional tripod grip TG-BT1 can be used for vlogging.
Plenty of video options are available to suit any project, including high-speed recording up to 1080/240p for 10x slow motion playback, and 4K/60p with a 1.18x crop.
Tools for video makers include a Rec. frame indicator, Tally light and a 3.5mm Mic/Remote jack to add an external microphone, although the Fuji X-M5 camera does include surround audio capabilities.

3 Advanced Internal Surround Microphones
Fujifilm has included advanced audio capabilities with a new directional mic setting option. This allows for surround audio, front or back priority, and front and back priority. This joins new steady-state noise reduction plus an improved wind filter to help you capture more professional audio directly in-camera when vlogging or making movies.
Vlog Mode with new UI
The addition of touch control has significantly improved vlog mode, allowing you to easily select various vlogging settings from the streamlined user interface. Vlog mode provides quick access to mic settings, product priority, portrait enhancer, and other features, helping you achieve professional-looking results that will impress your audience and keep them coming back for more.
A 9:16 Short Movie mode is also available, enabling you to create videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts, with footage cropped in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio.
Enhanced digital stabilisation
Upgraded Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) dynamically crops the image to reduce the effects of camera shake, resulting in smoother-looking footage across all aspect ratios. This now includes 9:16 video at 24/30p, which benefits from a dynamic 1.32x crop, ensuring steady and impressive results during handheld shooting.
The enhanced digital stabilisation technology now compensates for rolling shutter effects, reducing unnatural distortion that can occur during panning or when capturing fast-moving subjects. This improvement expands stabilisation together with IS Mode Boost, which is available for a variety of conditions, including walking, handheld panning, and both small and large levels of camera shake.
From fast action to smooth panning shots, you can record professional-looking, stable footage in any situation with the X-M5.
