X-E3 Body (Black) + XF 23mm f/1.4 R Lens
Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit
A stylish and versatile rangefinder mirrorless digital camera, the X-E3 from Fujifilm features an updated sensor and processor inside a familiar body. It uses a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor that has omitted an optical low-pass filter, and an X-Processor Pro image processor to capture sharp, high-resolution images. In comparison to conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colours and smooth tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing.
Together this impressive sensor and processor combination also provides a continuous shooting rate up to 14 fps, an extended sensitivity range to ISO 51200, and the ability to record UHD 4K/30 video or Full HD 1080p/60 video. When recording images or video, Film Simulation modes can be used to creatively enhance your footage. Video can also be output via HDMI to an external recorder or monitor, and a mic jack is featured for working with an external microphone.
Benefitting these features, optimised continuous autofocus performance provides improved subject tracking and focusing accuracy. Using both contrast- and phase-detection methods, the hybrid autofocus system features 91 total points, which can be divided into 325 total areas. Approximately 50% side-to-side and 75% top-to-bottom of the frame is covered by phase-detection points. A dedicated Focus Lever provides faster, more intuitive control over selecting specific focus points while shooting.
The camera is finished with the same classic physical design of its predecessor, with physical shutter speed and exposure compensation dials. This physical exposure compensation dial now features a C position to allow an expanded compensation range when working with the control dials. Compose your images using the high-resolution 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder or 3.0" 1.04m-dot rear touchscreen LCD that also offers focus point selection and menu navigation. Built-in WiFi with Bluetooth connectivity is also included for low-power image transferring and remote camera control from a linked mobile device.
Here the X-E3 is kitted with the XF 23mm f/1.4 R lens from Fujifilm, a wide-angle prime lens optimised for use with X-series mirrorless cameras using APS-C sensors where it offers a versatile 35mm equivalent perspective, ideal in a variety of shooting situations and favoured for street photography. This is complimented by a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 that makes it possible to work in difficult lighting conditions and with shallow depth of field for selective focus techniques. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth out of focus 'bokeh' areas.
Optically one aspherical element and High Transmittance Electron Beam Coating (HT-EBC) work together to minimise chromatic aberrations and produce images with a high degree of sharpness. This HT-EBC coating also works to protect the front lens surface as well as reduce lens flare and ghosting.
An internal focusing mechanism uses one group of three cemented elements and one aspherical element to lessen the overall weight and maintain the lens' length. This group is driven by a high-torque DC coreless motor for quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance.
Engraved camera-to-subject and depth of field scales on the barrel benefit manual focus control for setting the hyperfocal distance and pre-focusing techniques. Close-up focusing control permits a minimum focusing distance of 28 cm, or when working in normal position, a minimum focusing distance of 0.6 m is possible.
