Fujifilm is pleased to announce the launch of the Fujifilm X100VI (hereinafter referred to as the "X100VI"). The latest addition to Fujifilm's X-Series digital cameras, the X100VI is compact and lightweight, and features Fujifilm's unique color reproduction technology to deliver excellent image quality.
Since 2011, Fujifilm X100 series has been the first digital camera, the Fujifilm X100, to be launched. The X100 series digital cameras have won high praise from consumers around the world for their advanced hybrid viewfinder, classic design, easy operation, and excellent image quality with Fujifilm's unique color reproduction technology.
As the sixth generation of the X100 series, the X100VI retains the series' esteemed design and compact body, while incorporating the new 40.2-million-pixel X-Trans CMOS 5 HR 1 sensor and X-Processor 5 high-speed image processing engine for superior image quality and performance. In addition, the X100VI is equipped with a newly developed body stabilization feature that provides up to 6Stabilization 2 in 0 stops maintains the series' signature compact body and is not significantly heavier than its predecessor, making it easy for users to enjoy shooting with the X100VI in more scenes.
The X100VI digital camera builds on the classic design and ease of operation of the X100 series and introduces a host of outstanding image quality and practical features, allowing many users, including professional photographers and enthusiasts, to better explore the camera experience and enjoy shooting.
On January 20, 2024, on the occasion of Fujifilm's 90th anniversary, the company will celebrate the release of a limited edition of 1,934 units of the X100VI worldwide. The limited-edition X100VI comes in a special gift box that comes with a special camera strap, a shutter button, and a commemorative card for Fujifilm's history. The limited edition X100VI is engraved with the logo used by Fujifilm when it was founded in 1934 and a unique serial number as proof of the limited edition product.

Features:
(1) The X-Trans CMOS 5 HR and X-Processor 5 work together to deliver outstanding image quality and performance
The X100VI is equipped with a back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor with approximately 40.2 million pixels. The sensor uses an improved pixel structure to efficiently capture more light, and an ISO sensitivity of 125, which is an extended sensitivity of the previous model, is now the benchmark for the X100VI. In addition, the fit is 23mmf2When using 0 lenses, the X100VI is able to take full advantage of the higher resolution sensor for crisp images and clear image quality.
The X100VI has a total of 20 Film Simulation modes, including the new "Reala Ace", which gives images a variety of different tones. "Reala Ace" offers faithful color reproduction and high-contrast tones for a wide range of objects and scenes.
The X100VI uses an improved algorithm to optimize the autofocus function for the face and eyes, and introduces AI-based object detection autofocus developed using deep learning technology. Harnessing the power of AI means that cameras can now detect animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, planes, trains, insects, and drones*3 and then automatically track the detected objects while maintaining focus so that users can focus on shutter opportunities and framing.
3 Set "Object Detection Settings" to "Birds" to detect insects, and set to "Airplanes" to detect drones.
(2) The performance has been upgraded again, and the shooting range continues to expand
The X100VI is the first camera in the X100 series to introduce 5-axis in-body stabilization, offering up to 60 stops of stabilization compensation. The X100VI is equipped with a newly developed lightweight system that is only slightly heavier and more bulky than previous models, without compromising the flexibility of the X100 series.
The X100VI's advanced hybrid viewfinder allows users to switch between optical viewfinder (OVF) and electronic viewfinder (EVF), continuing the X100 series' signature "shooting through viewfinder" style. The EVF is equipped with a high-definition OLED panel with a resolution of about 3.69 million pixels, providing a more immersive shooting experience. With the Electronic Range Finder (ERF) function, a small EVF can be displayed on the OVF at the same time, allowing the photographer to capture the subject in the OVF and then zoom in on the object in the focus area of the small EVF, making the most of the viewfinder's potential. Taking snapshots with an electronic rangefinder is also very convenient.
The x100vi also supports 62K 30p** shooting, which is also a first for the X100 series digital cameras. The X100VI is equipped with a shooting tracking autofocus function to provide high-quality shooting.
The x100vi supports framesIO Camera to Cloud, which allows users to upload ** and still image files directly to FrameIO, which greatly improves the speed of the workflow from shooting to editing.
(3) The product design is mature and shows the beauty of extraordinary functions
The X100VI continues the traditional style of the X100V, and the top and bottom surfaces of the fuselage are made of aluminum. Aluminium has a high degree of freedom of forming, is pressed and machined to create sharp edges, and the surface is finely sandblasted to give it a smooth texture. In addition, the X100VI uses anodized aluminum to add color to the surface of the fuselage for a high-quality look.
The X100VI uses a thin, fold-out LCD display that can be laid almost completely flat, in line with the X100V's design. The all-in-one body design is simple and stylish, and it supports a variety of shooting methods from different high and low angles. In addition, the X100VI has a high touch sensitivity, and the operation is simple and intuitive, which is very beautiful and practical.
The shape of the camera grip has also been adjusted to further enhance the grip experience. The buttons on the back of the camera have also been adjusted to make it easier to operate with the right hand, making it more comfortable for users to shoot through the viewfinder.
(4) Rich range of accessories, broaden the boundaries of photography
The optional AR-X100 adapter and PRF-49 protective filter work with the X100VI lens to protect against dust and drip. When you continue to shoot in inclement weather conditions**, it'll be able to handle unexpected changes in the natural environment, giving you peace of mind.
The X100VI is also compatible with the lens hood LH-X100. Crafted from machined metal, the hood is extremely lightweight, and features a slit that does not obstruct the user's view through the viewfinder, providing both light blocking and clever design.
Two types of conversion lenses 4 allow you to adjust the focal length without changing the optical performance, pushing the boundaries of photography.
1) Wide-angle conversion lens WCL-X100 II
The WCL-X100 II is a dedicated wide-angle conversion lens that multiplies the fixed focal length by 08x or so, thus converting to a 28mm focal length (35mm format equivalent).
2) Teleconverter Lens TCL-X100 II
The TCL-X100 II is a dedicated telephoto conversion lens that multiplies the fixed focal length by 14x or so to reduce the field of view, thus converting to a 50mm focal length (35mm format equivalent).
4 Both conversion lenses are sold separately.
The LC-X100V leather case is a luxurious addition to the camera. Attach and remove the memory card and battery even without removing the case.
