Mumbai, 25 November 2019: Fujifilm India Private Limited, a pioneer in imaging technologies, announced the launch of FUJIFILM X-A7, in Mumbai today. The new addition to the X Series range of compact and lightweight mirrorless digital camera offers an outstanding image quality with the company’s unique color reproduction technology.
Sporting a retro and stylish design, the compact X-A7 weighs 320g and offers a host of features including the newly-developed 24.24MP APS-C sensor. The sensor uses copper wiring to enable high-speed data readout and features phase detection pixels across the entire sensor surface to enhance AF speed and accuracy. This enables AF tracking of a moving subject as well as Face/Eye detection with ease.
Adding to these features, X-A7 boasts a smooth recording of 4K/30fps video and high-speed video, making it a perfect camera for vloggers who want to step-up their photography from smartphone pictures. The camera offers a broad range of features from casual snapshots of everyday scenes to travel photography and full-fledged photographic creations. The X-A7 includes features beyond a smartphone’s reach by offering a 3.5-inch LCD monitor with a maximum luminous intensity of approx. 1,000 candelas to guarantee intuitive operability on the rear panel. Furthermore, this is the first X Series model that features a “vari-angle” monitor and allows users to adjust it to any angle. It can be used in conjunction with the Portrait Enhancer Mode for self-portraits of advanced quality.

The quality of images taken at
high ISO sensitivity has been improved over that of the current model*4. The
sensor delivers clear images with low noise even at the ultra-high sensitivity
of ISO51200, which is particularly useful when shooting a fast-moving subject
or in low light conditions.

The sensor uses copper wiring
to enable high-speed data readout, and features about 8.5 times more phase
detection pixels than the current model*** across the entire sensor
surface to enhance AF speed and accuracy. This not only enhances the AF tracking of
a moving subject and Face / Eye detecting AF performance, but also allows users
to attain fast and accurate autofocus even in low light.
