FUJIFILM X-M5 Mirrorless Camera (Black)

FUJIFILM X-M5 Overview

Elevate Your Creativity

For creators ready to move beyond the smartphone, the black FUJIFILM X-M5 Mirrorless Camera delivers a compact form paired with powerful performance. Featuring a 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor, the advanced X-Processor 5, and full compatibility with FUJIFILM’s extensive X-mount lens lineup, this camera is designed to expand your creative potential. With 20 built-in film simulation modes, AI-driven subject detection autofocus, and FUJIFILM’s signature retro-inspired styling, the X-M5 is built to inspire and transform the way you create.

Bigger Sensor, Superior Images

As the first X-M series camera in over a decade, the X-M5 brings the same 26.1MP X-Trans 4 CMOS sensor found in the highly acclaimed X100V, combined with the X-Processor 5 from the X100VI. The APS-C sensor is over 16 times larger than a typical smartphone sensor, delivering richer colors, finer details, and impressive low-light results. Its unique randomized pixel array mimics the organic look of film while minimizing moiré and digital artifacts. The larger sensor also provides shallower depth of field, allowing for stronger subject isolation and natural background blur.

Optimized Audio & 6K Video

Tailored for modern content creation, the X-M5 excels in both sound and video. It features three built-in microphones with four directional sound modes—Surround, Front Priority, Back Priority, and Front & Back Priority—for flexible audio capture. A 3.5mm mic input expands audio options, while in-camera processing enhances voice clarity and reduces background noise.

For video, the X-M5 records open-gate 6.2K footage at up to 29.97 fps, maximizing the full 3:2 sensor for high-resolution results. Creator-focused features include:

• Background Defocus Mode – blurs the backdrop to highlight the subject.
• Product Priority Mode – shifts focus to products placed in front of the lens, ideal for reviews.
• Portrait Enhancer Mode – smooths skin with adjustable intensity.
• 9:16 Short Movie Mode – captures vertical clips in 15, 30, or 60 seconds for social-ready content.

A red border outlines the screen while recording, ensuring creators know when the camera is live. With advanced AI-powered autofocus, including eye and subject tracking, plus two Log modes for easier color grading, the X-M5 is built for professional-grade video workflows. It also supports slow-motion recording in 4K at 60 fps and Full HD at up to 240 fps.

FUJIFILM Color Science & Film Simulations

Renowned for its film heritage, FUJIFILM equips the X-M5 with 20 Film Simulation modes that replicate the look of classic film stocks. Eight are accessible via a top dial for quick changes, allowing creators to produce distinctive results straight from the camera. Additional effects include Grain Effect for vintage texture, plus Color Chrome and Color Chrome Blue for enhanced saturation, depth, and tonal richness.

Compact, Creator-Friendly Design

The X-M5 is the smallest and lightest body in the X-series lineup, weighing just 12.5 oz and measuring 4.4" wide. The sleek, rangefinder-style design integrates tactile top dials for exposure and film simulation adjustments, while the X-mount accommodates over 35 native FUJIFILM lenses, with optional adapters for even more compatibility.

The 3" fully articulating touchscreen is optimized for self-recording, while port placements have been carefully redesigned to avoid interference with the screen—microphone input now positioned at the rear for cleaner setups.
