When Fujifilm introduced its X-A series, it was with the intent to cater to those who wish to buy their first interchangeable lens camera system. The company has worked towards enhancing the features to make the entire shooting experience easier for its users. Last year, the company announced its latest iteration in this series, the X-A7. The camera has been enhanced to meet the demands of video bloggers.

Features

Fujifilm has incorporated a new 24.2MP APS-C sensor, which uses copper wiring to enable high-speed data readout, and has phase detection pixels across the entire sensor surface. The X-A7 has 425 points in MF, and 117 points when employing AF-C or AF-S. In MF, there is also the peak off and distance scale feature, to capture focused images. There are four AF modes—Single Point, Zone, Wide/Tracking, and All. In the Tracking setting, users can choose between face and eye, or select both. The eye-tracking has further options such as eye auto, right eye priority, and left eye priority.

It’s worth noting that while the X-A7 can shoot at high ISO 51,200, it can only do so in the JPEG mode. RAW shooting is restricted to ISO 200–12,800.

In the Program mode, the speed of the mechanical shutter is 4 sec to 1/4000 sec, whereas with the electronic shutter, it is 4 sec to 1/32,000 sec. If you use all the remaining modes, the mechanical shutter is between 30 sec to 1/4000 sec, and the electronic shutter is 30 sec to 1/32,000 sec. The Bulb mode in both the shutter is up to 60 mins.
