Large 16.3 Megapixel APS-C Sensor and EXR Processor II
The FUJIFILM X-A1 uses an APS-C sensor and powerful EXR Processor II that captures rich tones, breathtaking dynamic range and stunning low-light images using its extended ISO range of up to 25600. With the X-A1, users can set the sensor sensitivity from ISO200 to as high as ISO6400 in 1/3 step increments, to obtain remarkably clear images even when shooting indoors and at night.
Together with the EXR Processor II, the X-A1 also gives customers fantastic speed with a start-up time of 0.5 seconds, a shutter time lag of 0.05 seconds, and a maximum burst speed of 5.6 frames per second (max. 30 frames).
Compact Performance and Advanced Features
The X-A1 CSC combines advanced features in a go-anywhere design. The X-A1 weighs just 11.6 oz, and is about a third of the size of a traditional DSLR body. With a slim profile of 1.3” at its trimmest point, the X-A1 is easily carried anywhere.
The camera also features a 3” tilting high-resolution LCD screen with 920,000 dots for easy image viewing and framing at various angles. The 3” LCD monitor tilts at variable vertical angles, facilitating both low-angle and high-angle shots, whether on or off a tripod.
The X-A1 uses a built-in high-precision flash, with the guide number 7, and Super Intelligent Flash technology, which uses scene recognition and automatically controls flash strength to reduce highlight clipping.
Easy Image Transfer with WiFi Button
The X-A1 includes a WiFi button that lets users transfer high-quality photos and movies to social media sites for easy sharing from the camera to smartphones, tablets and computers.
