Partner
to the newly designed sensor is a fresh engine—the X-Processor 5—which
uses 64-bit processing to realize 3x faster speeds for both video and
photo tasks compared to the X-T4. On the video side, this enables
recording at up to 6.2K with high bitrates like ProRes 422 HQ or at high
speeds, like with 240 fps recording at Full HD.
On the stills end, this quick processing means faster shooting to suit
photographing moving subjects. When working with an electronic shutter,
shooting at up to 40 fps is possible, with a buffer of 140 consecutive
uncompressed raw frame. With the mechanical shutter, shooting speeds up
to 15 fps are possible, along with the ability to shoot upwards of 1000
raw frames in a single burst.
Benefitting both video and stills applications, this processing also
benefits the sophisticated and AI-backed autofocus system, helps achieve
a 14-stop dynamic range, and enables a broad sensitivity range from ISO
160-12800.
With
a penchant for video, the X-H2S has a well-rounded recording system
that places this camera squarely in the 'hybrid' category and performs
equally well for video as it does for video. Internal 4:2:2 10-bit
recording is possible in both DCI/UHD 4K at up to 120p and Full HD at up
to 240p as well as an open-gate 3:2 6.2K setting that's suitable for
anamorphic applications. A variety of codecs are supported as well,
including H.265 and three tiers of ProRes: the high bitrate 422 HQ, the
standard 422, and the more compressed 422 LT. Also, continuous recording
times up to 90 minutes are possible at all frame rates and resolutions.
Using
the full-size HDMI port, raw video recording is possible when paired
with a compatible external recorder. Both ProRes RAW and Blackmagic RAW
recording is possible, along with the ability to work with F-Log or
F-Log 2 profiles, and either format supports working in resolutions up
to the open-gate 6.2K.
Benefitted
by the improved processing, autofocus performance is noticeably faster
and more intelligent. This hybrid focusing system uses 425
phase-detection points and is now sensitive down to -7 EV for working in
truly low-light conditions. Also, backed by deep learning, an AI
adaptive algorithm means this focusing system is better suited to
automatically detect and track a variety of subject types. Compared to
previous focusing systems, the X-H2S's Face and Eye Detection
capabilities have been refined for greater accuracy and to account for
unique features, like glasses, face coverings, and hairlines. Also, the
range of recognized subjects types has been expanded to include cars,
planes, trains, motorcyclists, birds, horses, dogs, cats and more.
Built-in
5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization helps to minimize the
appearance of camera shake by up to 7 stops. This system works in
conjunction with most X Series lenses, including non-stabilized ones,
and benefits working with slower shutter speeds and when shooting in
difficult lighting conditions. Additionally, digital image stabilization
can also be used during video recording to further aid in steadying
footage, especially when recording handheld.

Large OLED electronic viewfinder features a crisp 5.76m-dot resolution
and a 0.8x magnification for bright, clear, and detailed eye-level
viewing.
-
Rear 3.0" LCD has a high 1.62m-dot resolution and a touchscreen
interface for intuitive control. Also, its vari-angle design means the
screen can be flipped out to the side, tilted up or down, and closed
with the screen against the body for protection.
-
1.28" monochrome LCD screen on the top plate is a simple means for quickly reviewing shooting settings.
-
Dual memory card slots include one CFexpress Type B slot and one SD
UHS-II slot for file-saving flexibility. The CFexpress Type B slot
should be prioritized for higher bitrate video recording and fast
continuous shooting, and the SD slot is a convenient alternative for
backups or less speed-critical shooting.
-
NP-W235 battery provides approximately 720 frames per charge when
working with the EVF in Economy Mode, or approximately 580 frames in
Normal Mode.
-
Full-size HDMI Type A port for outputting video to an external recorder or monitor.
-
USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port supports tethering, data transfer, and in-camera battery charging.
-
3.5mm headphone and external microphone ports for greater control over audio recording.
-
PC sync port for flash sync.
-
2.5mm remote port for using wired remote controllers.
-
Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity allows for wirelessly
sharing images to a mobile device or to use the device to remotely
control the camera.
