X-T10 technologyhighlights While it may look very similar to the X-T1, the X-T10 offers its own unique combination of features that will help you capture great images, no matter how bright the light and how fast the subject is moving. Here are just some of the special functions the camera has to offer:
Bespoke functionality, eye-catching design
No two photographers are the same so the X-T10 allows you to set the camera up precisely to your own requirements. Seven of the camera’s function buttons are fully customisable so you can use them to set up quick access to the features you use most frequently, including ISO, metering options and even wireless image transfer through Wi-Fi connectivity. More regularly used functions are set via the stylish milled dials on the die-cast aluminium top-plate, plus there’s now an Auto Mode Switch Lever, which enables users to quickly switch over to full auto mode for quick snapshots or to hand the camera to a non-photographer. Also new is the built-in flash, which is handy for a variety of low-light or contre-jour situations, plus the camera is available in both all-black and chrome finishes so you can pick the model which best suits your style.
Real Time viewfinder
The viewfinder is one of the X-T1’s stand-out features, and the X-T10’s electronic Real Time viewfinder is another masterpiece of design and functionality. It offers a 2.36-million dot LCD with 100% coverage and has the world’s shortest lag time of just 0.005sec*. It’s the closest thing you’ll find to an optical viewfinder in any CSC. Being electronic, however, means it also has plenty of additional benefits over a DSLR’s optical finder, including simulation of features and exposure settings and the ability to change camera settings with the camera up to your eye. The display also rotates according to how you’re holding the X-T10 so the viewfinder information is always really easy to read. For those occasions when you don’t want to use the viewfinder, or want to try a different view when it comes to composition, the X-T10 also provides a 920k-dot tilting rear LCD screen.
Enhanced autofocusing system Traditionally, compact system cameras with contrast-detection autofocusing systems have struggled to focus quickly and accurately on moving subjects. This has put sporting and general action out of reach for many users, with manual focusing often being the only viable option. The X-T10, however, incorporates DSLR-style phase-detection pixels on the sensor along with two new autofocusing modes that put fast-moving subjects within easier reach. Both of the new Zone and Wide/Tracking modes use a larger 77-point focusing area that covers virtually the entire imaging area. They work in both Single and Continuous AF modes to help you capture everything from slow-moving subjects through to high-speed action with the camera either automatically identifying the subject and tracking its movement in the frame, or you selecting the starting focusing point and leaving the camera to follow the rest. Further enhancements have

been made with the phase- detection pixels effective in lower light levels, Eye Detection AF available to ensure portraits with pin-sharp eyes and an Auto Macro AF feature that eliminates the need to press the Macro button when shooting up close.
Unique to Fujifilm, the Film Simulation modes are a suite of features that allow you to emulate the look of a variety of colour and black & white film emulsions. These include the legendary Velvia and Astia options for punchy and muted colours respectively and the latest Classic Chrome mode, which delivers muted colours and rich tones reminiscent of old transparency films. The Film Simulation modes can be selected in camera, or even added in post-production, plus the X-T10 also offers in-camera Film Simulation bracketing, so you can pick between three different styles and simultaneously apply them with just one press of the shutter release.
