In short

The X-Trans V sensor powers the X-T5, X-H2, and X100VI, among others. It supports recipes featuring Nostalgic Neg. and Reala Ace film simulations.

The complete toolkit

The X-Trans CMOS 5 sensor, released in 2022, is a significant leap for Fujifilm's X-Series cameras. It comes in two distinct flavours: a 26MP stacked HS variant for speed and a 40MP HR variant for high resolution. This generation introduces new film simulations, Nostalgic Neg. and Reala Ace, enhancing the creative palette available to photographers. Notable cameras like the X-H2, X-T5, and X100VI feature this sensor, valued for its improved readout speed and superior image quality. Photographers appreciate its ability to deliver both high-speed performance and exceptional resolution, making it a versatile tool for diverse photographic needs.

X-Trans V offers the most comprehensive set of tools for film-simulation recipes today, including Nostalgic Neg. and Reala Ace. With advanced JPEG parameters such as Clarity, Colour Chrome Effect, and Colour Chrome FX Blue, it allows for intricate customisation. Recipes from earlier generations may require adjustments, notably reducing Colour Chrome FX Blue when adapting from X-Trans IV. This enhances its compatibility with previous recipes, making it ideal for photographers blending old and new techniques.

X-Trans V recipes are highly flexible but reduce Color Chrome FX Blue by one step when adapting from X-Trans IV.

Compared to X-Trans IV, V offers deeper blue rendering and new simulations.
