Feature 1Fujinon Lens for Excellent Shooting
Experience the amazingly bright and clear picture for entire shooting range, from 24mm wide to 26x 624mm zoom with high precision Fujinon lens.
F2.8-5.6 Fujinon Optical 26x Zoom Lens (24-624mm)
Extensive Focal Length Range (24mm-624mm) and Bright F-values (F2.8-F5.6)
 |
Featuring a 12-group, 17-element lens configuration, the manual optical 26x zoom is a masterpiece of FUJINON technology. The extravagant adoption of high optical performance glass lens elements (aspherical, high refractive index, and ED glass lenses) make the exceptional brightness of F2.8 at wide angle and F5.6 at telephoto possible. |
4 Aspherical Lenses
By using 4 high-performance aspherical lenses, the X-S1 delivers sharp image quality with rich resolution. These lenses also contribute to a more compact overall lens configuration and the X-S1's compact body size ensuring you can easily take it everywhere with you.
1. Focal Plane
ED Lens
ED Lenses for prevention of chromatic aberrations and muddy colors.
In order to minimize chromatic aberration which tends to occur when taking telephoto shots with a long zoom lens, two ED lenses made of extra-low dispersion glass have been adopted in the lens configuration. Adoption of one large-diameter ED lens in the first lens group reduces axial chromatic aberration that can occur at high zoom settings.
 |
Super EBC
All the lens elements used in the X-S1 have been treated with multilayer Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating), the same process used for Fujinon broadcasting video lenses and large-format camera lenses acclaimed by professionals. Reducing ghosting and lens flare, the treatment promises clear image quality. |
Versatile Shooting Style
Optimized for exquisite detail all the way to the edge of the image.
The FUJINON Lens and the EXR CMOS Sensor are the cutting edge of original FUJIFILM high-performance technology. These key devices have not only been adopted in the new X-S1, but also thoroughly optimized for each other, resulting in a synergy that produces high-resolution photos with exceptional resolution from the center to the edge of the image with extremely few aberrations.
OIS Mechanism
Complete control of the camera, without fear of camera shake. Equipped with a newly developed image stabilization mechanism, X-S1 effectively compensates for camera shake even when you press the shutter to capture a subject at extreme zoom.
 |
Metal Lens Barrel
Fast and precise zoom control for the wide photographic range of X-S1. |
| Soft and Beautiful "Bokeh" Effect
9-blade aperture diaphragm for an expressive "bokeh" effect. |
