I have that feature in my eye. It’s called Macular Degeneration.

I do like the feature, and will save up my pennies for this camera.

So cool. I’ve mailed Fuji the night they launched the X100, asking for this in the EVF. It seemed easy to do with the hybrid finder they created for the X100.

Hat’s off to Fuji for listening! Thanks guys!

I read somewhere that the split image function uses the phase detection. If true, since the original X-Trans sensor doesn’t have PDAF, this function won’t be available on the XPro/XE1. On the other hand though, focus peaking should be firmware based…

Quote from leaked press release:

“Making use of the built-in phase detection pixels for AF action, the X100S is the world’s first camera to offer a “Digital Split Image” feature, which displays dual images on the left and right to be lined up for manual focusing. This enables accurate focusing especially when working with an open aperture or macro shooting.”

This means that we will not see digital split screen on X-Pro1 and X-E1 as they don’t have phase detection.

Maybe this feature requires the phase-detection points integrated into the sensor

Does the split image work on OVF?

for all those complaining about AF, Fuji threw the kitchen sink at it. X100s has hybrid AF, focus peaking, digital split imaging! So many options, kudos to Fuji!
