Autofocus1053-point cross-type on-chip phase detection; subject detection: people, birds, cats, dogs, car and motorcycle racing, aircraft, helicopters, trains OM SYSTEMIntelligent hybrid phase + contrast detection; face/eye plus animal, bird, car, motorcycle, airplane and train detection

Subject detection finds the chosen subject type in the frame and tries to keep focus on it.

Fujifilm
Viewfinder2.36-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder; up to 1.37× magnification; 27 mm eye point

Magnification with a 50 mm lens at infinity, −1 dioptre; depends on the selected viewfinder style.

OM SYSTEM
0.39-inch OLED; about 2.36 million dots; 0.62× magnification; 100% coverage

Magnification describes how large the viewfinder image appears; the X-T5’s viewfinder has a higher resolution.

Fujifilm
Rear display3-inch, 3:2; approx. 1.62 million dots; touch, vari-angle OM SYSTEM—
ShutterFocal plane; 1/8000–60 s; down to 1/32000 s in silent mode; approx. 100,000 shot durability OM SYSTEMMechanical 4 s (30 s in A mode) to 1/4000 s; electronic up to 1/180,000 s; flash sync 1/180 s

The electronic shutter is silent and allows very short exposures, but fast-moving subjects can appear skewed.

Fujifilm
BurstApprox. 6 fps; with Pro Capture 20 fps, 50 fps with compatible lenses and 120 fps with focus and exposure fixed at the first frame

Slow shutter speeds and flash cannot be used. The compatible-lens list for 50 fps is limited.

External recordingHDMI Type D; 4K/C4K 12-bit RAW output to a compatible recorder

In RAW output the camera does not record to the card.

AudioBuilt-in stereo microphones; 3.5 mm microphone and headphone jacks; 96 kHz / 24-bit linear PCM OM SYSTEM3.5 mm microphone input; USB-C adapter in the box for headphones

There is no separate headphone jack on the body; video audio is monitored through the adapter.

Fujifilm
Card slotOne SD slot; SDHC/SDXC, UHS-I and UHS-II

4K/C4K, ALL-Intra and 100 fps or faster recording require a UHS speed class 3 card or better.

BatteryBLX-1 lithium-ion battery; 7.2 V / 2280 mAh; approx. 500 charge cycles OM SYSTEMNP-W126S lithium-ion; about 305 frames in normal mode and about 390 in economy mode

The frame count was measured by Fujifilm with the XF35mmF1.4 R; it is clearly lower than with the X-T5’s larger NP-W235 battery.

Fujifilm
Battery lifeApprox. 590 shots in standard mode, approx. 1040 in quick sleep mode; 120 min video (CIPA)

Approximate values measured with a KIOXIA 64 GB UHS-II card.

OM SYSTEM
—
USB charging and powerThe battery charges in the camera over USB-C; USB PD can power the camera externally

Powering needs a USB PD source rated at 27 W or more (9 V 3 A, 15 V 2 A or 15 V 3 A).

Dimensions139.3 × 88.9 × 45.8 mm (excluding protrusions) OM SYSTEM123.8 × 84 × 48.8 mm (34.2 mm at the thinnest point)

Depth is measured including the grip; the lens is not included.

Fujifilm

The weight does not include a lens.

Fujifilm
DurabilityMagnesium alloy body; IP53 splash and dust resistance; freezeproof to −10 °C

IP53 needs a compatible splash- and dust-proof lens; not applicable while charging or with HDMI connected.

SoftwareOM Image Share (OI.Share) app; OM Workspace RAW processing software OM SYSTEM—
Lens mount—FUJIFILM X

Directly compatible with X-series XF and XC lenses; GF lenses do not fit this body.

Fujifilm
Image size—3:2 up to 7728 × 5152

This is the pixel size of the largest photo at the sensor’s full resolution.

Fujifilm
Files—JPEG, 10-bit 4:2:2 HEIF, 14-bit RAF RAW; TIFF only from in-camera RAW conversion

HEIF stores more colour gradations than JPEG; RAW gives the most flexibility when editing.

Fujifilm
Standard ISO—125–12,800; extended 64–51,200

Extended ISO values may reduce dynamic range or add noise; the maker counts them outside the standard range.

Fujifilm
Stabilisation—5-axis sensor shift; up to 7.0 stops; additional digital stabilisation for video

Sensor shift reduces shake even with unstabilised lenses; digital stabilisation crops the image slightly.

Fujifilm
Burst shooting—Mechanical about 8 fps; electronic 13 fps uncropped, 20 fps with a 1.29× crop

In the 20 fps mode speed drops after 168 JPEGs or 66 compressed RAW frames; buffer depth depends on file type.

Fujifilm
Film simulation—20 modes; dedicated film simulation dial on the top plate

Film simulations change the colour and tone of JPEG and HEIF files; a RAW file can be processed later with a different simulation.

Fujifilm
Card—Single SD/SDHC/SDXC slot; UHS-I and UHS-II, V90

With a single slot, recordings cannot be backed up to two cards at once.

Fujifilm
Rear screen—3-inch tilting touch LCD; about 1.84 million dots

The screen tilts up and down; it does not flip to the side and face forward, so you cannot see framing when filming yourself.

Fujifilm
Video—6.2K 29.97p; 4K 59.94p; Full HD up to 240p; MOV H.265 with 24-bit/48 kHz PCM audio

Fujifilm lists about 45 minutes of continuous recording in 6.2K and 4K with face detection off; this may vary with temperature.

Fujifilm
USB—USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2x1)

USB 3.2 Gen 2x1 transfers up to 10 Gbit/s; it is used for file transfer and tethered shooting.

Fujifilm
HDMI—Micro HDMI (Type D)

Micro HDMI is a small, fragile connector; securing the cable is advisable when connecting an external recorder.

Fujifilm
Flash—Pop-up built-in flash; TTL-compatible hot shoe

The built-in flash can trigger external flashes in commander mode.

Fujifilm
Wireless—Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac; Bluetooth 4.2 low energy

Bluetooth keeps the phone paired and passes location data, while Wi-Fi handles photo transfer.

Fujifilm
In the box—NP-W126S battery, USB cable, headphone adapter, shoulder strap, body cap

No separate charger is listed; the battery charges in the camera over USB.

Fujifilm
Operating conditions—0–40 °C; 10–80% humidity (non-condensing)

Fujifilm does not list weather resistance for the body.
