The X-M5 has a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 355g*1, making it the lightest*2 camera in the X Series. The X-M5 is equipped with a full range of features, including AI subject detection Auto Focus (AF) that can detect moving objects such as animals and cars and a 6.2K/30P video recording function. These features make it possible to shoot both still images and movies with a single camera. Additionally, the design features the high-quality design aesthetic of the X Series range. The X-M5 is the perfect camera for a wide range of users, from first-time digital camera owners to photography enthusiasts, giving you the greatest photographic experience.
The X-M5 is a mirrorless digital camera equipped with the back-side-illuminated 26.1 megapixel “X-Trans™ CMOS 4”*3 sensor and the “X-Processor 5” high-speed image processing engine, ensuring high-quality image capture. A Film Simulation dial is located on the top of the camera, making it easy to switch between "Film Simulation" modes. This mode allows users to enjoy various colour tone expressions as if they were changing photographic film.
The X-M5 is equipped with high-performance video recording functions such as 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit internal recording. In addition, its powerful digital image stabiliser and high-performance built-in microphone allow for comfortable video recording.

1. Fujifilm X-M5 Product Features
Compact, lightweight body and product design that makes you want to take it with you every day
Weighing approximately 355g and measuring approximately 111.9mm in width, 66.6mm in height, and 38.0mm in depth. The extremely lightweight and compact body for a mirrorless digital camera makes it easy to carry around and enjoy photography every day.
Despite its compact size, the camera has the high-quality “X Series” aesthetic symmetrically placed dials on the top of the camera adding to the overall design.
The Film Simulation dial is conveniently placed on the top left. Users can easily switch between 20 Film Simulation modes according to the subjects and scenes they are capturing, making it easier to enjoy a variety of colour tones in both still and moving images.
The top right features a mode dial. In AUTO mode, the camera automatically recognises the optimal shooting mode for the scene, allowing even first-time digital camera users to easily capture high-quality stills and videos.
Equipped with a high-performance sensor and high-speed image processing engine to achieve high image quality and high-performance AF
The X-M5 is equipped with the back-illuminated "X-Trans™ CMOS 4" sensor with approximately
26.1 megapixels and the latest high-speed image processing engine "X-Processor 5". This allows for high image quality with low power consumption.
The camera features the subject detection AF, developed with deep learning technology, in addition to the existing Face / Eye AF. AI is used to enable detection of animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones*4.
The latest AF predictive algorithm provides high tracking performance for moving subjects and high-precision AF in low-contrast environments.
*4 Set the Subject Detection Setting to “BIRD” when you want to detect insects and to “AIRPLANE” when you want to detect drones.
6.2K/30P video recording and other extensive video functions
The X-M5 can record 6.2K/30P 4:2:2 10-bit video internally and supports extensive video functions including 4K/60P and 1080/240P capability.
The camera is equipped with powerful digital image stabilisation. It is effective not only for minor camera shake but also for heavy shaking that occurs when shooting video while walking.
For the first time in our digital camera lineup, it is equipped with three built-in microphones. You can choose from four microphone directivity options: surround, front, back, or front & back, depending on the situation. The camera is also the first in the Fujifilm lineup to feature a steady-state noise reduction function, which reduces noise that continues to ring at a certain frequency, such as air conditioning noise.
Vlog mode allows users to change shooting conditions intuitively by touching the LCD.
Improvements in the number and placement of icons make video recording even easier than ever before. In addition, the new "9:16 short movie mode" allows users to easily shoot vertical videos, which is popular for capturing content to share on social media.
New bit rates of 8 Mbps and 25 Mbps have been added to the bit rates that can be selected in the "Media Recording Settings" when shooting video. This shortens the transfer time to external devices such as smartphones and the time required to upload captured video directly to social media.
