Features
Retro Design: The Fujifilm XF1 digital camera has a retro
design with many of the features of a
high-quality DSLR. It has a textured, synthetic leather-wrapped body with
durable aluminum body parts to give you the feel of a classic 35mm film camera.
Fast Startup: The XF1 features a lightning quick startup
time. In the menu, you can enable the Quick Start Mode to allow the camera to
restart in just 0.55 seconds. This option increases the drain on the battery.
Fujinon 4x Optical Zoom Lens: The XF1 is equipped with a bright F1.8 (W) - F4.9
(T) Fujinon 4x zoom lens with a focal length of 6.4mm to 25.6mm (35mm
equivalent: 25mm-100mm). The zoom mechanism operates manually by turning the
lens ring. The camera's power switch is incorporated into the zoom ring.
LCD Monitor:
The XF1 has a 3" color LCD
monitor featuring approximately 460,000 dots and approximately 100% horizontal
and vertical coverage in the shooting mode. When shooting, you can choose from
two information displays, and information off display, and a custom display with
up to 13 selectable items.
Image Sensor/Processor:
The XF1 features a large 2/3" EXR CMOS image sensor with
12-million effective pixels. The sensor works together with the EXR Processor to
give you high quality images, Full HD Movie recording, and high-speed continuous
shooting. The EXR Processor features dual CPUs, EXR core and a Reconfigurable
Processor for HR (high resolution), DR (wide dynamic range), and SN (high
sensitivity/low noise) images.
Recording Media: Still images and movies
can be recorded onto optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards. The XF1 also has an internal memory of approximately
25 MB to allow you to store a few test
images in case your memory card is full.
Still Image Quality: The XF1 records still images in JPEG
format in 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect
ratios in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and two compression ratios
(Fine and Normal). In addition, RAW images can be
recorded from the raw, uncompressed image data from the camera's image sensor.
RAW format images must be processed on a computer using the supplied RAW File
Converter application software. You can also shoot a RAW + JPEG image at the
same time, with separate RAW and JPEG files recorded and stored. The available
image sizes include:
| 4:3 Image Sizes |

(1920 x 1080), Standard HD (1280 x 720), and Standard Definition (640 x 480) in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
at 30 frames per second (fps) with stereo WAV audio. Individual movies files cannot exceed
29 minutes in length (115 minutes for standard definition), regardless of the capacity of the memory card. A Class 4
SD memory card or higher is recommended when shooting HD or High Speed movies.
High Speed Movies: High Speed movies can be shot at 640 x 480 @70 fps,
320 x 240 @120 fps, and 320 x 112 @ 200 fps. These movies, when played back at
normal speed, show the subjects in slow motion. Individual movies cannot exceed
30 minutes in length. No audio is recorded; focus, exposure, and white balance
are not adjusted automatically.
Motion Panorama: The camera is capable of taking panoramic images by
panning the camera through one of three angle settings. As you pan the camera,
multiple frames are recorded and automatically stitched together in the camera
to create the panoramic image. The Motion Panorama 360° can be saved for playback
as a continuous loop. The Motion Panorama options are:
- Motion Panorama 360°:

them whenever the mode dial is rotated to Custom 1 or Custom 2.
ISO Sensitivity: The XF1 gives you three options for setting
the ISO Sensitivity:
- Auto: The Auto settings will adjust the sensitivity settings
according to the shooting conditions. The higher the sensitivity setting,
the better the camera is at reducing blur in poor lighting conditions,
however, high settings can result in more noise in the recorded images.
- Auto (with maximum): The sensitivity is set automatically as
above, except that the sensitivity will not be raised above a set maximum of
400, 800, 1600, or 3200.
- Manual: You can manually set the camera's sensitivity to ISO 100,
200, 250, 320, 400, 500, 640, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3200, 4000,
5000, 6400, or 12800.
White Balance: White balance is used to preserve natural colors under different types of
lighting. You can select
Auto, Direct Sunlight, Shade, "Daylight" fluorescent lamps, "Warm White" fluorescent
lamps, "Cool White" fluorescent lamps, Incandescent light and
Underwater (requires waterproof case). In addition, you can measure for a white
balance value or display and select from a list of color temperatures.
Film Simulation: The XF1 can simulate the effects of
different kinds of film, including sepia and black-and-white. You can select one of the
following options:
- Provia/Standard: standard color reproduction
- Velvia/Vivid: a high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited
for nature photos
- Astia/Soft: a soft-toned palette of less-saturated colors
- Monochrome: standard black-and-white
- Monochrome + Y Filter: black-and-white pictures with slightly
increased contrast; tones down the brightness of the sky
- Monochrome + R Filter: black-and-white picture with increased
contrast; also tones down the brightness of the sky
- Monochrome + G Filter: softens skin tones in black-and-white
photos
- Sepia: takes pictures in sepia tone
Color Space: Depending upon how you intend to use the image,
you can choose the output color space at the general sRGB setting or the broader
color rendition of Adobe RGB.
Exposure Compensation: Using the dedicated Exposure
Compensation dial on the top of the camera, you
can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures
brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 13 steps from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3
EV steps. Exposure compensation is available in all shooting modes except
Manual.
Continuous Shooting: The Continuous Shooting mode includes
two burst modes and four bracket modes:
- Top: You can shoot continuously at a maximum burst speed of 10
frames per second (at M size) or 7 fps at full 12-megapixel resolution (L
size). You can also select a frame rate of 5 fps or 3 fps. Maximum number of
frames is 200.
- Best Frame Capture: The Best Frame Capture mode lets you take a
series of pictures starting before and ending after the shutter button is
pressed. You can choose the frame rate (10, 7, 5, 3 fps) and number of shots
(16 or 8). If shooting in RAW or RAW + JPEG, the maximum number of shots is
8.
- AE bracket: 3 frames (selected exposure, overexposure,
underexposure)
- ISO bracket: 3 frames (selected sensitivity, sensitivity raised,
sensitivity lowered)
- Film Simulation: 3 frames (PROVIA, Velvia, ASTIA)
- Dynamic Range: 3 frames (100%, 200%, 400%)
Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second
or 2-second self timer. The 10 second self timer is recommended for self
portraits, while the 2-second self timer is used to reduce blur caused by the
camera moving when the shutter button is pressed.
Focus Mode: The camera has a 3-position focus mode selector
next to the lens on the front of the camera. The following options are
available:
- Single AF (AF-S): Focus locks while the shutter button is pressed
halfway. Good for stationary subjects.
- Continuous AF (AF-C): The camera continually adjusts focus to
reflect changes in the distance between the camera and the subject. Good for
moving subjects.
- Manual Focus (MF): Focus manually using the sub-command dial on
the back of the camera. The LCD monitor indicates the focus distance range
(in meters or feet) and the depth of field.
Focus Range: The camera's focus range is approximately 1.6'
to infinity in Wide Angle, and 2.6' to infinity in Telephoto. In the Macro mode,
the focus range is approximately 1.1" to 9.8' in Wide Angle, and 1.6' to 9.8' in
Telephoto.
Flash Modes: The XF1 has a built-in manual pop-up flash with an effective range of
1.6' to
24.2' in Wide Angle, and 2.6' to 8.8' in Telephoto. Red-eye removal minimizes the
"red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose from the following flash modes:
-
Auto: flash fires
automatically as required by the shooting conditions
-
Forced Flash:
flash will fire whenever a picture is taken
-
Slow Synchro:
auto flash combined with slow shutter speeds (tripod recommended)
-
Suppressed Flash (Off): flash does not fire, even when the
subject is poorly lit.
Light Metering:
The XF1 uses 256-segment, TTL (through-the-lens) metering, where the camera
automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure. You can
select from three metering options: Multi, Spot, or Average.
Viewing Images: Images can be
played back one-at-a-time or in a variety of multi-frame views. Multi-frame
options include a 5-frame cascading display (two previous and two following
frames cascaded behind the highlighted image), a side-by-side two-frame display
(with smaller thumbnails of the previous and next frames, 9-image grid (3 x 3)
and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails. In the 9- and 100-image grid
views, the highlighted image is slightly enlarged.
Image Search: The Image Search function lets you search
pictures by the following criteria:
- Date: Search for photos by date
- Face: Search for photos that include faces
