My name is Billy. I'm actually in Tokyo Midtown

at Fujifilm's head office, and I have my good friend Chang

from Singapore. He's actually the Singapore Fuji Guy. How you doing?

Good thanks yeah I mean like I'm Chang from Singapore so I'm

very happy to join this episode. Today actually, we're going to talk about a brand

new product, the Fujifilm X100T. It

comes in both the black as well as the black and silver that

you have there. Yeah, that's right. The X100T offers a new advanced hybrid viewfinder

that gives you the best of both worlds.

It gives you the optical viewfinder, electronic viewfinder,

and an optical viewfinder that has a built-in electronic viewfinder on the

bottom right hand corner and this is a really neat feature.

The way it works is that there's a neutral density filter that slides up in place

at the bottom right hand corner

and an electronic view is actually projected onto that which is

really really cool. Yup, and it is actually very

easy to operate. You pull the lever to the right, and

you push the lever to the left. You can change the mode very easily.

So if you push it to the right,it jumps from

the optical viewfinder to the electronic viewfinder, correct? That's right, yeah.

And if you're in the optical viewfinder and you push it to the left it also

engages the ND filter and projects the electronic view at the bottom

right hand corner. And you'll have a picture in picture functions, right.

And that's really cool because the electronic viewfinder gives you 100 percent

confirmation of the framing;

It also allows you to focus. So even in manual focus modes;

right you can actually use the electronic portion to confirm

focusing. That's right yeah. That's very user-friendly new features.

What about the focus ring itself? I notice this actually has a new design.

Yeah. Now we have a new functions we call the simultaneous parallax

corrections. So when you're doing the manual focusing, you have

a like automatic correction while you are turning the lens barrel

that give your more accurate framing.

That's really cool. I really like that feature. The EVF also has a great refresh rate just like

the X-T1.

So virtually it's lagless and making this camera the great camera

for different types of customers. Whether you like electronic viewfinders

or optical viewfinders, or both. It's all built into the x100T.

The aperture ring on the x100T has also been updated

to offer 1/3 stops of adjustment. No longer do you have to go on the

command dial on the back of the camera to flip it left and right to adjust that,

which is something that a lot of people are going to appreciate. In addition to

that of course, the command dial has also been updated to be easier to use.

You still have a shutter speed dial as well as an exposure compensation dial

up to 3 stops. Yeah, so they give you a more precise control of the camera. Yeah, absolutely yeah.

So what else is new? Well now you have a a seven customizeable functions.

By long pressing the display functions it goes the menu and now you can assign

like a... Any of the dials, any functions you want, so. Any function you want into the

different buttons. I really like the fact that you can do that,

the fact that you can also change the directional pad

to quickly allow you to adjust the auto focus point. That's right. So no longer do you

have to push the AF button, in order to access that. If you wanted to do that, this camera is really fully

customizable

including the Q menu menu. Yep also in the Q menu, now you can

choose and decide what it looks likes in the Q menu.

So you can go in there? Yeah,you go in there, and

you can see all the buttons, all the blocks can be assigned with the different features.

So when you go in there, you push the Menu OK button, and you

can select from the different options available in that list,

really making it a really customizable camera.

You know every individual out there has different options. You know

I might like to change the sharpness, you might like to get

access to the video mode. That can be all done through the Q menu

through that customization and with the seven different options for function

it really makes it a camera for everybody.

The camera offers a list of new features including a brand new LCD screen.

That's right. It's bigger, sharper, clearer. And it's 3 inch. Yeah it's 3 inch. Compared to the past.

It's very useful to check focus and image quality.

Now the camera also offers a new film simulation mode, right? That's right!

Called classic chrome. Classic chrome gives you a softer look to the image

and also a little bit more contrast

similar to some of the old classic chrome

films in the past. Yeah

this is one of the best colour for the documentary photography.

We know that the mechanical leaf shutter on the X100

is super silent, but there's also another new feature to this camera.

Yeah so that gives you like 1/32000

second shutter speed, and it is dead silent. So it's electronic shutter

vs a mechanical shutter, right? That's right. And how do you change that?

In the manual's actually, you can choose from the mechanical shutter,

electronic shutter, and mechanical plus electronics shutter.

So it's kind of like a hybrid feature that gives you the best of both worlds.

It uses the shutter speed to make mechanical speeds of up to 1/4000ths

and then it switches it automatically to electronic shutter

when it needs faster shutter speeds above that point which is

really really cool. That's very smart, yeah. That's gonna make this camera incredible,

being dead silent, being you know very fast when it comes to shooting

and also offering the ability to shoot at wide open apertures

on bright sunny days.

In addition to that it still has that 3 stop built-in ND filter.

So it really makes this camera a perfect camera to take in any lighting situation,

in any location whether it's in a museum, a library,

or out on the street. Your best companions.

The video mode on the X100T has also been improved.

So now you can offer up to 1080p

at 60 frames a second, but also change the frame range

from 60, 50, 30,

25, as well as 24 frames a second to give you a very cinematic-like look to the video.

Yeah. What's cool is that you can manually adjust from the aperture, shutter and ISO level as well.

So now you can basically lock the exposure so it doesn't automatically adjust

which is very useful for when video filming. You also have a mic

input that you can use with an external mic that has controls through that,

and all that can be done through the menus here. Again, you can select the ISO,

you can select the shutter speeds, and of course the apertures is on the front of the camera.

All the settings with your fingertips.

Uh. So the video mode has really improved. I really like the way

that Fuji's listening and taking feedback and incorporating that

into a camera like the X100T. Yeah it's a better camera now.

Also the the camera also has some really other cool features as well

when it comes to things like WiFi capabilities, right? It incorporates the same

capabilities as the X-T1.

Yeah, and it is actually very easy by pressing the WiFi button.

It is creating a WiFi connectivity, and you can also download the apps from the Fujifilm

app, and they give you the control access to the shutter speed,

the aperture and ISO level. You can even press the shutter

buttons in Apps to control the camera. And of course you've also got a live view which means

you can see exactly what youre

framing and there's also touch focusing through the app on the phone itself. Yeah.

It's a great feature for the X100T and I think really a good addition to

to this camera and really very very useful.

So there you have it, the Fujifilm X100T

available both in the black as well as the black and silver.

Loads of new updated features with this camera, of course,

you can also use a wide conversion as well as a teleconversion lens

making it a true system camera,

so it is compatible. For more information on this product of course you can uh,
