Resolution

The X-E3 resolves a maximum of 3,400l/ph between ISO 100 and ISO 400, with resolution dropping slightly at ISO 800 to 3,200l/ph. Similarly high detail is preserved beyond ISO 800 with 3,200l/ph being resolved at ISO 1600 and 3,000l/ph at ISO 3200.

Detail drops below 3,000l/ph when the sensitivity is pushed beyond ISO 6400. The detail resolved at ISO 12,800 (2,800l/ph) remains high and the sensor even manages to resolve 2,400l/ph when shooting in the expanded ISO 51,200 setting.

Here we show details from our resolution chart test pattern (above). Multiply the number beneath the lines by 200 to give the resolution in lines per picture height.
