Features
EXR sensor
Neighbouring photosites are always the same
colour on the X-S1 sensor. It can work with the processor in different ways
according to the mode selected.
Fujinon lens
The
bright lens has a wide aperture at either length of the zoom, which makes it
easy to take pictures with a shallow depth of field (click image to enlarge).
The 26x optical zoom is the equivalent to a
24-624mm in 35mm terms. It’s a high-quality 17-element design with four
aspheric and two ED glass elements.
Fold-out LCD
The three-inch 460,000 dot fold-out LCD
with various display modes is ideal for composing and previewing stills and
video captures at waist-or even ground-level.
EVF
The EVF is a sharp and contrasty 1.44
million-dot panel with the display options of the rear screen and a proximity
sensor to switch between them.
Burst rate
The X-S1 is capable of bursts of up to a
super-high speed 10fps and 6MP, or 7fps at full resolution (JPEG). This feature
makes it excellent for shooting fast-action sequences.
HD movies
The X-S1 records stereo video clips of up
to 29mins at 1920x1080 pixels at 30fps in a Mac-friendly .MOV format, with
manual zooming and focus available.
Test shots
Despite
being shot at almost the furthest end of the zoom, I was able to keep this
trawler sharp, focused and perfectly framed without the aid of a tripod
EXR modes
Gain more control with selecting the EXR
modes. D-Range Priority and High ISO modes produce 6MP JPEG files and
Resolution Priority mode outputs at native resolution
Managing RAW files
The X-S1 comes bundled with Silkypix RAW
File Converter EX, a utility for outputting as TIFF or JPEG. You can ‘process’
RAW files in-camera too.
Colour
Particular attention has been paid to
create high-quality out-of-camera JPEGs with appealing yet highly-saturated
colour, rich tones and lots of contrast.
Macro mode
With the X-S1 you can shoot in Macro mode
to 30cm or in Super-Macro mode and focus as close as 1cm. easy to capture,
macro shots are sharp and detailed.
Film simulation
These presets mimic Fuji’s film profiles
and from the basis for JPEG image parameter settings. Choose between Astia,
Provia, Velvia and several black-and-white options.
Panorama modes
From the mode dial, follow the on-screen
options to create dramatic 120-, 180- or even full 360-degree sweep-style
panoramas.
