FUJIFILM X100S

Feature 4A Perfected Fusion of Optical and Electronic Viewfinder

The new Hybrid Viewfinder offers expanded freedom in the composition and enjoyment of photography in a range of challenging shooting conditions.

Hybrid Viewfinder

There's an indescribable pleasure that peering through a viewfinder provides. And now Fujifilm have taken this further with the launch of the newly developed Hybrid Viewfinder. Whether you're framing your shot through the Optical Viewfinder (OVF), or Electronic Viewfinder (EVF), your eye will not only see the subject and scene, but also a range of shooting data projected by an integrated high-definition LCD panel. This perfect marriage of intuitive analog operation and state-of-the-art digital functionality gives birth to the discovery of new dimensions of enjoyment behind the lens of the ultimate compact.

Instantly Switch between OVF and EVF

• Optical Viewfinder (OVF)
• Viewfinder Switch Lever
• Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)

When you want to view the subject with maximum clarity or keep shutter time lag to a minimum, the Optical Viewfinder (OVF) impresses with stunning optical quality. For confirmation of focus, exposure, white balance and depth of field while shooting the scene, just move the lever to Electronic Viewfinder (EVF). According to the demands of the shooting conditions and your creative inspiration, the FUJIFILM X100S empowers you with the capability to switch between two viewfinders.

Vivid Frame and Text Data Display Projected from the Built-in LCD

Using a conventional “bright frame” optical viewfinder configuration as a base, the FUJIFILM X100S has an integrated 2,360K-dot LCD panel to display shooting information. Compared with a conventional display that uses an illuminating window to bring in external light, this hybrid approach produces a crisply defined bright frame and sharp easy-to-read text information.

Reverse Galilean Optical Clarity

Offering a comfortable horizontal apparent field of view (approx. 26°), the viewfinder 0.5x magnification is ideal for lens with a 35mm focal length (35mm format equivalent). Adoption of a high-precision prism, high-refractive glass and Super EBC coating, enhance enjoyment of a bright, clear optical image with minimal aberrations.

Amazing Clarity in both OVF and EVF

The unique viewfinder shutter controls the entry of light from the optical viewfinder. When it is open, your eye sees the precise clarity of an optical image. When it is closed, the sharp definition of the Live View projected from the LCD panel is displayed.

• Bright Scene

Power Control System: OVF Power Save Mode

If you turn this mode on when using the optical viewfinder, the power saving system is activated, doubling the maximum number of images per full charge from 300* in normal operation. It is ideal for getting the most out of your battery capacity and getting a few more valuable shots out of your charge.

• * Maximum shots from a fully charged NP-95 lithium battery pack, based on the CIPA test standard.

Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) - 100% Coverage 2,360K-dot of High Definition Quality

When using the EVF, you will enjoy 100% coverage on a sharp image display delivered by a 0.48-inch high-definition LCD delivering 2,360K-dot of resolution. From precision framing of macro shots with “Live View” to quick post-shot reviewing of your results, the EVF is ready with its vividly accurate display whenever you need it.
