Autofocus and Film Simulation
The X-T50 features an updated autofocus algorithm, using AI for faster autofocus and improved subject detection and tracking in various lighting conditions. A notable addition is the Film Simulation Dial, which allows for quick switching between different simulation modes.
The X-T50 introduces the new Film Simulation mode called REALA ACE, joining 19 other modes such as Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, and more. These modes reproduce the look and feel of FUJIFILM’s traditional film types. Additionally, a Grain Effect mode replicates the appearance of old film photos with a textured look, and Color Chrome and Color Chrome Blue effects enhance color depth and tonal response.
Image Stabilization and Connectivity
The X-T50 features in-body image stabilization that compensates for up to 7 stops of camera shake. For wireless connectivity, the camera includes Frame.io Camera to Cloud technology, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Users can connect to Frame.io via the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet LAN connection to deliver high-resolution raw or JPEG images, send h.264 video proxies, or upload video securely for review.
