We recently told you that the Fujifilm X Half will have a thumb winder similar to the first ever rangefinder digital camera on the market.

But will it be just a “fake” winder like on this expensive Leica camera?

Well, now we can also give you a few more details on how it works:

• when taking images, pull the lever to display images side by side – the “diptych mode”
• pull the lever to take another image when you are in “analogue mode” – which we explained here
• push the lever towards the body to see the last picture you have taken

So far this “multi-functional” thumb winder is the most intriguing part of the upcoming Fujifilm X Half for me.

But overall Fujifilm has gone very experimental with the Fujifilm X Half. I guess this is the perfect camera to take some risks and try out new concepts.

When the Fujifilm shared the first image of the backside of the Fujifilm X Half, we could notice a small vertical secondary screen on the left of the camera with “PROVIA” written on it.

Well, today we can tell you a bit more about it.

I don’t know if Fujifilm was “inspired” by this Canon camera, which first introduced the concept of a “Multi-function touch bar” on a mirrorless camera, but I guess we can say Fujifilm took that concept and enhanced it.

Here is why.

That little screen is an LCD touch screen. You can use to swipe and select your film simulation, but also to select/change menu settings. I don’t know if you can do even more with it, like zooming into an image or other things.

And it’s different to the little screen we find on the Fujifilm X-Pro3, which also shows the film simulation, but it is not a touch screen and you can’t use it to swipe through film simulations or settings.

I look forward to see that little touch screen in action in just a few days.

Here is another image of the Fujifilm X Half which will be announced soon.

Apparently it has been leaked at a Vlog video, but I don’t know the original source, so all I can do is to share the image that I have received.

The image does not really say much. What I can say is that the image that we leaked a while ago gives away more information, such as the lens details and you can even see the name printed on the top of the camera.

However, this image shows it in the hands, and we can see that it is a really small camera.

B&H Photo has listed the Fujifilm X-Half teaser on their website.
