Fuji X-E5 Official Press Release

Fujifilm Introduces FUJIFILM X-E5 Mirrorless Digital Camera

VALHALLA, N.Y. – June 12, 2025 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division, announces the launch of FUJIFILM X-E5 (X-E5) rangefinder-style mirrorless digital camera. X-E5 combines the classic look and feel that has made Fujifilm’s X-E series a sought-after tool among photographers, with an updated design and the latest features X Series has to offer including a customizable Film Simulation (FS) dial, in-body image stabilization, enhanced viewfinder capabilities, and more.

“X-E5 is a masterstroke of elegant design, delivering the perfect balance between form and function,” said Victor Ha, vice president, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions, FUJIFILM North America Corporation. “It blends our fifth-generation digital imaging technology with soulful touches of classic design, creating a camera that brings even seasoned users a new way to immerse themselves in our subculture of Film Simulations.”

Main Features:

Lightweight, compact form factor, featuring new Film Simulation dial

• X-E5 is designed to be an everyday carry camera, weighing approximately 445g (approximately 1lb.)1.
• For the first time in the history of FUJIFILM X Series, the top-plate is machined from a single piece of aluminum. The distinct tapered design on the rear of the top plate enhances the metallic texture while improving the operability of the dials, ensuring a seamless and comfortable creative experience. By combining sharp, flat edges with carefully curved surfaces, the top-plate delivers a smooth metallic texture and a high sense of rigidity, offering a premium feel when holding the camera.
• In addition to providing quick access to Fujifilm’s exclusive Film Simulation modes, the FS dial features three additional positions that allow users to create and save their own custom FS recipes to FS1, FS2, or FS3.
• Refinement is central to every aspect of X-E5’s design. For example, the viewfinder and diopter adjustment control fit flush with the body. By refining vertical and horizontal elements, the design preserves the essence of a traditional camera while exuding a sophisticated presence.

New Electronic Viewfinder Capabilities

• Inspired by retro film cameras, the new Classic Display mode2 on X-E5’s rangefinder-style electronic viewfinder (EVF), displays key information at the bottom of the frame.
• X-E5 also has a new Surround View function that displays a black, semi-transparent or outlined area outside the image. While looking through the viewfinder, users can easily switch between these three options using the Control Lever on the front of the camera, providing an image making experience similar to a traditional optical viewfinder.
• The Control Lever offers additional customizable functions including changing aspect ratios and adjusting the digital teleconverter magnification. This ensures exceptional operability and versatility, even with one-handed operation.

Powerful in-body image stabilization (IBIS), digital teleconverter, and video capabilities

• A new IBIS algorithm and upgraded gyro sensor work together to increase responsiveness to camera shake across five axes. This offers a benefit of up to 7.0 stops at the center and 6.0 stops at the periphery3.
• The camera features a digital teleconverter function that allows for 1.4x and 2.0x zoom options. This enables users to crop into the frame with a minimal loss of image quality, for additional creative versatility.
• The rear tilting monitor can be flipped upward and forward facing up to 180 degrees, which can accommodate a wide variety of compositions, from high to low angle, as well as selfies.
• X-E5 is capable of shooting in 6.2K/30P resolution. It features a tracking AF function during video recording, ensuring high-quality and smooth footage.

High-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine for high-quality images and autofocus (AF)

• X-E5 is equipped with the back-illuminated 40.2 megapixel X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR sensor. Updated image processing algorithms deliver high resolution while maintaining a high signal-to- noise ratio.
• An improved pixel structure allows light to be recorded more efficiently on the imaging sensor, unlocking ISO 125 as a native sensitivity. On the previous model4 this was only available as an extended option. Additionally, the electronic shutter can be set to a maximum shutter speed of 1/180,000 of a second to achieve highly precise exposure control.
• X-E5 features AI-based subject-detection autofocus, developed using deep learning technology to detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones5.
• The latest AF predictive algorithm delivers high tracking performance for moving subjects and high precision AF in low-contrast lighting.
