Introducing the new FUJIFILM
XF10
Budding photographers seeking a step
up from smartphone snaps are fixed thanks to FUJIFILM’s
latest camera announced globally today (July 19th).
The
brand new fixed-lens XF10, available in New Zealand in
August, is a premium, compact camera that packs a
picture-quality punch. Including all of the hallmarks of
FUJIFILM’s X Series mirrorless system, the XF10 combines
simple manual operation with superior image quality and
versatile shooting options.
The ultra lightweight and travel-friendly camera weighs in at only 280 grams and sports newly enhanced Bluetooth®*1 connectivity to automatically transfer images to a smartphone for social share.
FUJIFILM NZ X Series specialist Craig Robertson says to not let the mirrorless camera’s compact size fool you.
“Despite its pocketable size and weight, the
XF10’s high quality, fixed FUJINON lens covers a wide
range of subjects from landscapes to food photography and
flatlays – a perfect companion in our social media age,”
says Robertson.
The XF10 is the first X Series mirrorless camera to feature the brand new Square Mode that allows users to switch seamlessly to a 1:1 format with a simple flick on the touchscreen.
“Square images have become the standard format on social media networks such as Instagram. With speedy syncing and Square Mode, professional-looking shots can be transferred and posted on social media in an instant,” says Robertson.
As a fixed-lens camera, eliminating the
need to carry extra camera gear, the XF10 has a powerful
18.5mmF2.8 FUJINON lens (equivalent to 28mm on 35mm format)
optimised to perfectly match the sensor and ensure images
are sharp from centre to edge.
Packed with a 24.2
megapixel APS-C sized sensor and FUJIFILM’s world-renowned
colour reproduction technology, the XF10 produces high
quality, high resolution images destined for picture frames
and worthy of “Insta fame”.
In addition to FUJIFILM’s unique 11 film simulations, the XF10 has 19 advanced photography filters, including two brand new modes for photographers to easily add extra artistic flair to their photos.
The new Rich & Fine
mode is perfect for food and tabletop flatlay
photography. It results in brighter, more vivid colour at
the centre and slight shadow at the corners to emphasise the
subject.
Monochrome [NIR]
mode simulates the monochrome effect seen in
near-infrared
cameras.
