Fujifilm X E1 Compact System Camera with 18 55mm XF Lens Silver

The Fujifilm X E1 is a retro styled addition to their Compact System Camera range. It uses a fantastically detailed image sensor to deliver truly fine quality and has professional imaging features that allow you control exposure, focus, colour balance, sensitivity and much more besides.Intuitive Design and ConstructionSituated on the lightweight and robust Magnesium top plate, are numbered dials for aperture, shutter speed and exposure compensation so you can easily set these parameters just like on a traditional film camera, even when the power is switched off. It is also possible to adjust settings while looking through the viewfinder and you can use custom features, either by pressing the Drive button for access to the most often used functions, or assigning modes to the Fn button for custom setup. There is even a Q quick menu shortcut button.Large 16 Megapixel with Unique ArrayThe X Trans CMOS APS C size sensor is the same sensor found in Fujifilm’s top X Pro1 model. It uses a unique colour filter array which gives a highly random pixel arrangement and so eliminates the need for a moiré filter which can inhibit resolution. Basically pixels are in a 6x6 repeating pattern rather than 2x2 repeating pattern. The random nature of the colour filter array also makes noise reduction far more efficient and finally the larger sensor size allows for shallow depth of field effects and therefore pleasing bokeh.High Sensitivity and Fast OperationUsing the extended ISO range, ISO sensitivity can be set anywhere between ISO 100 and ISO 25,600. Fast camera operation includes a 0.5sec startup time from Sleep Mode, a tiny 0.05sec shutter lag and 0.1sec Autofocus. For action sequences you can shoot continuously at 6 frames per second.Focus OptionsAs well as having single and continuous autofocus, the 49 point AF sensor features a user movable AF frame which can be put wherever you like in the image frame. Manual Focusing is aided by distance and depth of field readout information.Film SimulationFujifilm slide and negative camera films are well known for their unique and beautiful characters, giving subtle differences between emulsions. For that reason, Fujifilm have simulated the colour balance of their most popular films on this camera. These include Velvia for vivid saturation, PRO Neg.Std, PRO Neg.Hi, Provia for a neutral balance, and Astia for gentle colourings ideal for portraits. There are also monochrome with RGYe filters and Sepia simulation modes.Full HD MoviesFull HD movies can be recorded with stereo sound at 24 frames per second, just like cinematic film. You can adjust microphone levels or even use the Mic input to attach an external stereo microphone. Again there are Provia, Velvia and Monochrome simulation modes as well as adjustment of White Balance.Superb Electronic ViewfinderThe XE 1 includes a high luminance 2.36 million dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder EVF with extra wide apparent horizontal field of vision of 25°, d
