Focus Stacking on X-A5

What a crazy day this is… with massive leaks one after another, and I don’t expect them to stop for the next 2 weeks, until the Fujifilm X-H1 announcement.

This is why you should make absolutely sure to follow us on Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter.

We have shared today already:

• Fujifilm X-A5 English Catalogue Leaked (Full Specs) + More XC15-45 Images
• Fujifilm X-A5, X-A20 and XC15-45 Specs Leaked
• New Images of Fujinon XC 15-45, Fujifilm X-A20 and X-A5 Leaked

Yes, even the X-A5 Catalogue leaked already. And I thought I must dedicate an own article to one specific feature Fujifilm mentions in the X-A5 catalogue: “Multi Focus”, or, as Fujifilm says a mode that “automatically composes multi images to generate a sharp image with deep depth of field.”

In other words: focus stacking in camera!

And yes, I’m with you guys: I demand Kaizen Firmware for all other Fujifilm cameras! :)

Fujifilm X-A5, X-A20 and XC 15-45 announcement at around midnight today New York Time. Don’t miss the FujiRumors Live Blogging.

It’s a never ending leak, and here on FujiRumors you get non stop live real time coverage.

We have already shared:

• Fujifilm X-A5, X-A20 and XC15-45 Specs Leaked
• New Images of Fujinon XC 15-45, Fujifilm X-A20 and X-A5 Leaked

This time the Fujifilm X-A5 (full specs) as well as the XC15-45 leaked again on an English Catalogue here (3.4 MB PDF file).

I share the part with the specs… for more check out the catalogue. And don’t worry, I have the PDF, so if it gets removed, I will upload the full PDF on my dropbox for download for you.

Also, see the XC15-45 zoomed out on the top of this blog post.

As we told you weeks ago, the XC15-45 is a Power Zoom lens (hence Fujifilm printed PZ on the lens), meaning that by turning the zoom dial, you don’t mechanically zoom, but it’s a zoom-by-wire, so the zoom is powered by the camera.

The announcement of the X-A5, X-A20 and the XC 15-45 is expected to happen within a few hours.

FULL SPECS SHEET

More images of the Fujinon XC 15-45 and X-A20 leaked at nokishita.

Down below again the main specs of XC 15-45, X-A5 and X-A20 as well as more images

The size of the X-A10 is identical to the one of the X-A20, so we can make a nice comparison between the XC16-50 and XC15-45. But it’s no surprise, because here on FR we already showed you weeks ago here the exact size of the lens, and the latest leak just confirms it ;)

The Fujinon XC15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ OIS will be bigger than Sony’s Power Zoom solution, the Sony 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6, but I guess that Fujifilm tried to find the sweet spot between compact size and image quality.

Not a pancake zoom…. more of a muffin zoom ;)

And remember that Fujifilm outsourced the development of the X-A line, because they needed R&D money for the Fujifilm GFX. We reported about it here.

Here are the main specs of the upcoming X-A5, X-A20 and XC15-45.

Fujifilm X-H1 Dual IS

Back in October, I told you that “currently” the OIS and IBIS on the Fujifilm X-H1 do not work together.

However, I also told you that this could be related only to the current firmware and that maybe Fujifilm might be able to implement this feature in future.

And here is today’s good rumor:

I hear that Fujifilm worked on it and that OIS and IBIS now work together. Just in time for the official Fujifilm X-H1 announcement on February 15.

Now, I have no idea about the detailed way it works and if there are still some limitations of some kind. For this, we will have to wait February 15, when the Fujifilm X-H1 will be announced and we will know everything in detail.

But it’s good to know that you will be able to use both, OIS and IBIS, together.

I have my live blogging kit ready… make sure to join us on FujiRumors for the big live blogging on February 15.

What About Sensor Shift Multishot?

Back in September, I told you that the Fujifilm X-H1 will not have the sensor shift multishot feature.

On this front I have not heard anything new, so I guess that at launch it won’t have this feature. But also in this case, maybe Fujifilm will figure it out right in time.

It’s coming… stay tuned on FujiRumors via Facebook, RSS-feed and Twitter
