Find the moment.
It's time to see what
you’ve been missing.
X20
FUJIFILM research as of November 2012. Compared with other digital cameras equipped with 2/3-inch sensor or larger, based on CIPA standards, and conducted in High Performance mode at maximum wide-angle position with AREA-AF.
Fusing cutting-edge optical technology and
real-time display of shooting data,
this viewfinder promises an accurate and brighter view of the world
the moment your eye meets the eyepiece.
In the world’s fastest AF of 0.06 sec.*, the large 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor and
the new EXR Processor II bring your image into crisp focus with
phase detection AF and capture what you see with phenomenal detail.
Faster, more beautifully and above all, a photo that only you can take.
This is the X20 experience.
Beyond this viewfinder, a new world is waiting.

real-time shooting data to the optical canvas.
Comprising 2 aspherical lenses, 2 glass prisms and other high performance
optical elements, the real-image optical zoom viewfinder delivers 85%
coverage and a 20° horizontal apparent field of view with amazing optical
clarity. Integrated in less than 1mm of space in the viewfinder configuration,
the Digital Trans Panel, an ultra-thin LCD panel, not only maintains
the brightness of the optical viewfinder, but also provides a clear display
of the focus area, shutter speed and other shooting information so you can
compose your shot without taking your eye from the viewfinder.
The adoption of a Dach glass prism in the advanced zoom view-
finder contributes to both X20’s compact size and exceptionally
clear, bright view.

Advanced Optical Viewfinder
Special prism is the key to the bright viewfinder.
Depending on conditions, the color of
information in the viewfinder changes.
The newly developed Digital Trans panel automatically switches
the color of information in the shooting frame according to the
scene and shooting conditions. Normally displayed in black,
shooting information is automatically displayed by green LEDs for
enhanced visibility in especially dark scenes. This function also
applies to the display of the focusing area frame when AF fixes on
a subject. And when an error occurs, the displayed information
changes to red to aid your shooting decisions
The embedded eye sensor on the right-hand side of the viewfinder
instantly detects when you are looking through the eyepiece and then
triggers the display of shooting data in the viewfinder. Take it away
from your eye and it automatically switches the scene display to the
LCD monitor. It is also possible to restrict the shooting information
display to only the viewfinder or the LCD monitor (Eye Sensor OFF).
The handy diopter adjustment control dial on the left-hand side of the
viewfinder ensures comfortable viewing if you wear glasses.

O
X-Trans CMOS II adopts an original color filter array with a highly random
pattern, eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter (OLPF), which is
used in conventional systems to inhibit moiré at the expense of resolution.
This lets the sensor directly capture the high resolution performance of the
X20 lens. Also exploiting the enhanced performance of the EXR Processor II,
Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) factors are calculated to compensate for
aberrations and diffraction blur that occur when light passes through the lens
and then are applied to produce images with amazing sharpness.
Advanced technology and processing help transfer the power of the lens into true to life photos.
New processor
(LMO Processing)
Optimization of the X-Trans CMOS II reduces noise by over 30% * for an
improved S/N ratio. The quality of the clean signal is further enhanced by
the new EXR Processor II. The original signal processing of the X-Trans array
featuring advanced noise separation technology combines with a newly
developed noise reduction process that exploits the color differential to
suppress chromatic blur, resulting in image quality far beyond its sensor size.

Originally developed by FUJIFILM for the X20, the 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor inherits the same
architecture and features of the high performance sensor found in the acclaimed X-Pro1 flagship model.
Adoption of BSI (backside illumination) technology enables the successful incorporation of phase detection
pixels into the array without affecting sensitivity performance-the key to X20’s high-speed AF.

F
What is OLPF-less architecture?
OLPF-less architecture and the original pixel array are
the keys to resolution rivaling larger sensors. Also the
unique integration of phase detection pixels in the
array contributes to the dramatic leap in AF speed.
By eliminating the need for an optical low-pass
filter, the sensor delivers higher resolution
while inhibiting moiré and false colors.
The blazing image processing performance of the newly developed EXR Processor II
not only produces images with increased resolution and higher quality at higher
speeds, but also accelerates operational responses. Adoption of a dual CPU and
increased clock frequency elevate performance to about twice the processing
speed of the previous generation*1. These LSI improvements also speed up
operation, reducing start-up time to only about 0.5 sec.*2Working in tandem with
the high-speed signal readout of the X-Trans CMOS
II
sensor, the processor
reduces the shooting interval to 0.5 sec., cuts shutter time lag to approx. 0.01
sec., and raises the maximum continuous shooting speed to 12fps.
Double the processing speed of a conventional image processor.
NEW
Switching between phase detection and contrast AF,
New Intelligent Hybrid AF autofocuses in as fast as 0.06 sec.
Depending on the scene, Intelligent Hybrid AF instantly switches
between high-speed phase detection AF and contrast AF, which can
focus on the subject even in dark scenes. Applying the fastest algorithm
according to the targeted subject and scene, it can bring your subject
into clear focus in as fast as 0.06 sec.

Empowering you with a choice of 4 different auto bracketing functions
(AE, ISO Sensitivity, Dynamic Range and Film Simulation), the X20 lets
you experience a whole world of photographic expression.
Selection of various Auto Bracketing functions
One press of the shutter captures 3 shots of the same scene at different exposures.
AE bracketing can be set in 1/3, 2/3 and 1EV steps.
• AE Bracketing
Based on a single exposure, the scene is automatically reproduced as 3 images, each with a
different ISO sensitivity and without changing the shutter speed and aperture, letting you capture
the moment with varying degrees of brightness. Setting is possible in 1/3, 2/3 and 1EV steps.
• ISO Sensitivity Bracketing
Capture 3 exposures of the same scene with high-speed continuous shooting, each
at a different dynamic range setting (100%, 200% & 400%).
• Dynamic Range Bracketing
Just release the shutter once and produce 3 images of the scene based on a single exposure,
each image with a different Film Simulation effect that you have freely selected and pre-set.
• Film Simulation Bracketing
The X20's built-in RAW data converter lets you view and edit your
results without the need for your PC. The conversion of RAW data not
only takes into account exposure compensation, white balance and
other in-camera image quality control settings, but also lets the user
apply Film Simulation modes in the converter mode.
