Fujifilm X-S20 Black with XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 Lens Kit in More Detail

26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 Sensor With X-processor 5

Since being developed in-house the X-Trans sensor and image processor in the X-S20’s core have graced some of the most advanced Fujifilm mirrorless cameras such as the X-T5, which features with the same high-speed X-Processor 5.

X-Processor 5 provides twice the processing speed of X-Processor 4, which was used in the previous generation camera, with AI processing and reduced power consumption being just a couple of its advantages.

The 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor offers tried-end-tested high resolution results at fast readout speeds, which supports high-speed burst photography and professional video quality.

Highly capable imaging

Fujifilm has extended the imaging capabilities of the X-S20 in order to provide powerful stills features for photographers. These include a wide ISO range of 160 –12,800 which is extendible to ISO 80 – ISO 51,200 for versatile capabilities in all sorts of lighting conditions.

A host of photo modes help you capture stills content for any audience, such as:

• AE Bracketing
• Filmsimulation bracketing
• Dynamic Range Bracketing
• ISO sensitivity Bracketing
• White Balance Bracketing
• Focus Bracketing
• Multiple Exposure
• HDR Mode
• Advanced filter

High Performance For Fast Action

When you need fast burst continuous shooting to keep up with action, the X-S20 offers the option to shoot in either mechanical shutter or electronic shutter modes. This provides 8fps burst in mechanical shutter and 20fps completely blackout-free shooting in electronic shutter. This provides extremely responsive capabilities to capture every split second in the best quality available.

In a pinch you can even extend burst shooting to 30fps by using a 1.25x Crop, for when you simply have to capture the perfect moment during fast paced action sequences. The Fujifilm X-S20’s buffer will record up to 79 frames of compressed RAW images when bursting in full resolution at 20fps and 1000+ frames when using the mechanical shutter at 8fps.

Advanced AF subject detection

The X-S20 uses an advanced Intelligent Hybrid AF (TTL contrast AF / TTL phase detection AF) with AI-driven subject detection and tracking. Fuji’s Face / Eye AF latest AF algorithm is extremely capable at tracking people, even while shooting in burst mode, or when your subject is continuously moving across the frame.

This enables you to accurately capture fast paced sports, wildlife and action, which is erratic or fast moving. Other subjects which are recognised include Animal / Bird / Automobile / Motorcycle & Bike / Airplane /Train.

Low light focusing is down to -7.0EV with phase-section AF and shooting with the XF 50mm f/1.0 lens, which provides unparalleled low light performance.

IBIS

Shooting handheld requires dexterity from the user and the camera, which the X-S20 delivers in the form of a 5-axis in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) mechanism, which is able to reduce camera shake by up to 7-stops.

Digital Image Stabilisation is also available when recording movies, with IS MODE BOOST, which can be used for extremely unstable recording situations. This built-in stability opens new opportunities to shoot in dark environments and still come away with sharp images and smoother videos.

Great Video performance

Video creators gain a formidable mirrorless camera, with a wealth of video options from full-sensor width 6.2K Open Gate recording with no crop, to high-speed Full HD 240p and 4:2:2 10-bit up to 360Mbps. When combined with the effective IBIS you can record vlogs and videos without the need for a gimbal in many situations and capture video which will thrill you and any audience.

The X-S20 supports every level of video creation with the option of recording to an external video recorder such as the Atomos Ninja V, in order to capture ProRes RAW or BlackMagic RAW over HDMI. This offers exceptional colour grading and highlight recovery during post production with the ultimate control over your movies.

A maximum 6.2K/30p (3:2) can be recorded in H.265 All-Intra 4:2:2 MOV 10bit, 360Mbps internally to the SD card and 6.2K/30p (3:2) or 5.2K/60p RAW to an external recorder.

Numerous other recording options are available to suit every situation with DCI4K and 4K at 60p H.265 All-Intra 4:2:2 10bit internal recording through to High speed FHD 240fps 4:2:2 10bit.

Audio quality is also excellent with Stereo sound 24bit / 48KHz sampling available across HEVC/H.265, Linear PCM and MPEG-4.

Versatile EVF And Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD

Fuji has included a bright 2.36 million dot OLED colour viewfinder, which provides a sharp, clear view of your subject. The rear also features a 3.0 inch 1.84 million dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor, which is perfect for capturing difficulty shooting angles, selfies and for vlogging, proving useful particularly when working at waist level or in portrait orientation.

The electronic viewfinder provides completely blackout-free scenes even when bursting at the maximum frame rate.

Supports HEIF format and High Quality Raw

The HEIF image format is supported, which captures 10-bit quality in files which are up to 30% smaller than JPEGs. This not only saves space but speeds up your workflow with more impressive results straight out of camera.

RAW images are captured in 14bit (RAF original format) at a maximum size of 6240 x 4160 pixels, (3:2) for the greatest flexibility when post-processing your images.

Beautiful colour science

Fujifilm has continuously evolved from analog to digital over an 85 year history, and the X-S20 digital camera features 19 Film Simulation Modes including Nostalgic Neg. These preset colours capture gorgeous results straight out of camera, with unique images which help to push your creativity from popular looks such as PROVIA, Velvia and Classic Chrome.

Connectivity

Adding the right accessories is possible thanks to comprehensive connectivity and the X-S20 includes:

• WiFi IEEE802.11a/b/g/n/ac (standard wireless protocol)
• Bluetooth Ver. 4.2 (Bluetooth low energy)
• USB Type-C (USB3.2 Gen2x1)
• HDMI Micro connector (Type D)
• ø3.5mm, stereo mini connector (Microphone)
• ø3.5mm, stereo mini connector (Headphone)

Best accessories

The X ecosystem is well-established, with Fuji camera accessories available to enhance your shooting experience. One of the first additions will be an extra Fujifilm NP-W235 battery or two, and you may need faster UHS-II Video Speed Class V90 SD memory cards for 6K video, which are compatible at any size up to 2TB.

The hotshoe allows you to add any compatible Fujifilm fit flashgun such as the flagship EF-X500 as well as models from well known third party providers including Profoto and Godox.

For the ultimate wireless audio with a 250m range you can add DJI Mic while the ultra-compact Rode VideoMicro II comes in a completely redesigned body with natural, full-bodied sound.

Extended battery life of up to 800 frames in economy and 750 frames in standard shooting mode is provided by the addition of the 2200 mAh NP-W235 battery. When recording video this allows for up to 85min. (29.97p) continuous recording in 6.2K and approximately 95 minutes of high speed 120p recording in Full HD.

Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens in More Detail

The Fujifilm XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8 R LM WR Lens was released alongside the camera and brings a full-frame equivalent of 24-76mm. This provides a highly versatile zoom range suitable for various photography styles including portraits and street photography, while also allowing photographers to stop down for extremely detailed landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors.

Optically, the lens is designed to support high-resolution camera sensors, with an optical design which includes 11 elements in 9 groups, including 3 ED and 3 Aspherical elements. It's capable of resolving over 40 megapixels, meeting the demands of the X-T50’s CMOS sensor while controlling image artefacts like chromatic aberrations and colour fringing.

The 9-bladed aperture creates beautiful bokeh and soft focus areas, and with a close focusing distance of 24cm and a maximum magnification of 0.3x, photographers can capture engaging, frame-filling images.

Autofocus is fast and silent thanks to a linear motor design, making it especially suitable for quiet environments such as weddings or events. Additionally, the XF 16-50mm lens is not only compact and lightweight but also robustly constructed with comprehensive weather sealing.

Its inner zoom mechanism enhances durability by preventing dust and moisture intrusion and maintains its compact size during zoom adjustments, prepared for any content creation situations.
