Fujifilm X-A5 Feature
The camera body made of metal, combined with a layer of synthetic leather, with the body design of the typical Fuji camera. There are three choice colour-black, brown, and pink. The X-A5 Is the smallest and lightest camera in Fujifilm’s X-series, has 117x68x44m wighing 361g including battery. If use the XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens along the 44.2mm with 52mm in diameter, overal wight of Fujifim X-A5 is 496-grams. For some people this size is very confident to hold. Especially for people who like traveling, selfies, and vlogger. However, for some people the body of this camera still not conmforteble to hold.
In addition, what strengthens this camera made to support traveler, selfies, and vlogger is the small kit lens on the Fujifilm X-A5 camera. When compared with the previouse XA series which uses a XC 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens.the kit lens used to Fujifilm X-A5 is XC 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ. This kit lens is smaller and shorter in size than before. So, that’s why the x-a5 is more compact to carry everywhere. The small size of this lens is also made for who love traveling, selfies, and vlogger.
Furthermore, Fujifilm X-A5 has an autofocus that performs faster than X-A3. Because the Fujifilm X-A5 used autofocus Phase Detection technology with 92 focus areas in the 7×12 grid. If you use the XC-15-45MM f/3.5-5.6 OIS PZ lens, the autofocus can be use up to 5 cm from the object photo.
Touch Screen
The next Fujifilm X-A5 feature is touch screen flips up to face forward for selfies.It also sports an external microphone input. Although annoyingly it’s a non-standard 2.5mm jack and the hotshoe becomes blocked when the screen’s facing forward which makes it less convenient for vloggers. You should also take the 4k capability with a pinch of salt as it only operates at 15fps which isn’t fast enough for smooth motion. But it remains useful for some burst modes. Other key features include a rear screen that flips up through 180 degrees to activate a selfie mode (there’s a Portrait Enhancer mode for smoother skin, too), a macro mode for photographing objects as little as 5cm away, and a wide range of exposure modes for different situations and skill levels.
Recoding Capabilities
Next Fujifilm X-A5 feature is video recording capabilities. That make the X-A5 series a recommendation for travelers and vloggers. The capabilities of the X-A5 video recorder get a significant upgrades. Fujifilm X-A5 is capable of recording 4K video (384×2160). Maximum frame rate that can be recorded is 15 fps. In addition this camera also features multi-focus capabilities. High speed recording feature is 1280-720p for craeting slow motion videos. One of the most requested features is the microphone port. Fujifilm finally provide a 2.5mm port in this series. There is a microphone port to install an external mic, even though the size is not standard, which is 2.5mm. Fotunately, Fujifilm also released the ST1 mic which also has a 2.5mm size.
No Have X-Trans sensor
Fujifilm X-A5 not have X-Trans sensor found in more advanced Fujifilm cameras. This camera have fast phase-detection autofocus. Offering a variety of focus patters including a Wide/Tracking mode. Zone AF over a smaller area and Single Point AF. All using various combinations of 91 individual AF points that extend almost to the edges of the frame.
Completeness of filters and simulation films is again a mainstay in new mirrorless cameras in the X-A series. You can do experiance with 17 filters. Including those that make images look soft, filter special toys, to highlight colors. There is also a function to eliminate fog (cityscape photography lovers will definitely appreciate it) and features to add sparkle in bright areas. Relying on the APS-C CMOS sensor with a resolution of 24.2 megapixels. The X-A5 photo shots are also satisfactory. In sufficient lighting conditions, this camera is capable of producing excellent tonal color and detail shots. Like other Fujifilm cameras, color reproduction for tonal skin color is also very satisfying. Its ability in low-light conditions is also still reliable. Up to ISO6400 settings, sharpness, color and noise control are still well maintained.
