Equipped with the newly developed “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” (*1) sensor to achieve the highest image quality in the history of the “X Series”
Equipped with a newly developed back-illuminated approximately 40.2-megapixel “X-Trans™ CMOS 5 HR” sensor and updated image processing algorithm to improve resolution while maintaining a high S/N ratio. “X series” realizes the highest image quality ever. In addition, the new sensor has an improved pixel structure that allows it to capture more light efficiently. ISO125 can be used as a normal sensitivity, making it ideal for shooting outdoors in the daytime and taking advantage of bokeh effects with a bright lens.
By installing a new sensor, it is possible to control the exposure time with higher accuracy. The fastest shutter speed of the electronic shutter has been extended from 1/32000 seconds of the previous model (*2) by approximately 2.5 steps to 1/180000 seconds. In addition to being able to shoot with the aperture wide open using a large-aperture lens even in environments with strong glare, such as on a sunny beach or on a slope, it is also possible to capture a moment in a studio.
The X-H2 also supports HEIF format. HEIF is a highly efficient file format with 10-bit, 1 billion colors of color information, while the data size is 70% that of JPEG. It is possible to save the image taken and taken out with higher image quality and efficiency.
Pixel shift multishot
For the first time in the X series, it is equipped with Pixel Shift Multi-Shot, which enables shooting with four times the resolution and faithful color reproduction. By automatically shifting the image sensor with ultra-high precision using the in-body image stabilization function, 20 images can be obtained with a single shutter release. Furthermore, by processing the acquired images using the dedicated software “Pixel Shift Combiner”, it is possible to generate images of approximately 160 million pixels, making it ideal for commercial photography and digital archiving of cultural assets.
Smooth skin effect
The “Smooth Skin Effect” that automatically retouches the skin is installed for the first time in the “X series”. You can reduce the time and effort required for retouching portrait photos, etc., and create high-quality image data in a shorter time.
