Focal points

The X-E3 isn’t short of features and squeezes a lot into the confines of its petite body

Battery life

The X-E3’s battery lasts for approximately 350 frames or 50 minutes of 4K footage. Spare NP-W126S Li-ion batteries can be purchased and cost around £50. Charging via USB is also supported.

Clip-on flash

The X-E3 lacks an in-built flash, so Fujifilm supplies a clip-on flash in the box for those times when you’d like a little extra illumination. If you’d prefer a more powerful example, you’ll want to look at the Fujifilm X100 EF42 flashgun (£179).

Electronic shutter

The X-E3’s electronic shutter allows users to set a shutter speed as fast as 1/32,000sec. This can be beneficial when you’d like to use fast lenses at their maximum aperture in bright lighting conditions and can save the hassle of having to attach an ND filter.

4K movie

The X-E3 supports high-quality 4K movie recording at 29.97fps with a quality of 100Mbps. Film simulation can also be selected during 4K movie shooting, allowing users to enjoy a variety of video expressions.

Panorama mode

You’ll find the panorama mode beneath the X-E3’s drive mode settings. The camera will take a series of shots as you pan before merging them into one panoramic image. You can choose between ‘L’ for a 180° shot and ‘M’ for a 120° shot.
