One of the most important aspects of the camera is the ability to program your favorite features into the operation of the camera. Customize the Function buttons the way you like them. See whatever info you want on the LCD or EVF/OVF and many other nice tweaks to make the camera work like you want it to.
This horse shot is a grab at 1/5800 @ F/2.8.
Using some of the Advanced Filters I did some partial blur and partial color.
Although it is tough to see in these three images - they are with the three different focal lengths you can easily have with the X100 series cameras. Effectively 28mm, 35mm, & 50mm.
Some low light shots from the other night.
You really must read about the new picture in picture screen inserted into the OVF. It is a new type of electronic range finding mechanisms.

FUJIFILM ANNOUNCES FLAGSHIP
X100T PREMIUM COMPACT WITH IMPROVED HYBRID VIEWFINDER, ENHANCED CONTROLS AND
ULTRA FAST SHUTTER SPEED
X100T Features
Electronic Rangefinder, improved ergonomics, and new ‘Classic Chrome’ Film
Simulation for intensely colored photos
Valhalla, N.Y., September
10, 2014 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation today announced the new
FUJIFILM X100T, a premium compact, fixed lens camera designed
for photographers looking for the ultimate in image quality, performance and
functionality. The X100T comes newly equipped with an advanced Hybrid Viewfinder with an Electronic Rangefinder that now gives
users reduced display lag times, automatic brightness controls and a Natural Live
View shooting display.
The new FUJIFILM X100T blends award-winning image quality
with a renowned design that gives enthusiast and professional photographers the
most important controls and functions at their fingertips. The X100T combines
the resolution and power of the APS-C X-Trans CMOS II Sensor and EXR Processor
II with a bright FUJINON 23mm F2 fixed lens for optical excellence.
And to give photographers a new type of film simulation to
work with, the X100T ships with Fujifilm’s new ‘Classic Chrome’ film simulation that delivers muted tones and deep
color reproduction for beautifully dramatic images.
Advanced Hybrid
Viewfinder with Electronic Rangefinder
The FUJIFILM X100T uses an improved Advanced Hybrid
Viewfinder with Electronic Rangefinder that allows focusing as if using a
mechanical rangefinder. While in optical viewfinder mode, pushing the OVF / EVF
switching lever to the left will switch the viewfinder to electronic
rangefinder mode. Additionally, Focus Peak Highlight and Digital Split Image
can be selected, and the magnification of the focused area can be changed. Compared
to the X100S, the frame coverage in the X100T has been increased from 90% to
92%, and the field of view can now be accurately checked closer to the actual
subject. The X100T also uses Real-time parallax correction for more accurate image
composition. Reframing after bringing the image into focus is no longer
necessary, allowing for a seamless shooting experience.
Photographers also now have access to Shooting Effect
Reflection settings within the Hybrid Viewfinder to recreate selected camera
effects, including Film Simulations. When turned off, users can see the natural
view. The image within the finder is displayed at the maximum frame when
shooting under dim light and dark areas such as night scenes, enabling shooting
while looking at a smooth image, all while greatly reducing display lag time.
Range of controls
expanded, upgraded body
The FUJIFILM X100T now allows photographers to set the
aperture to 1/3 steps using the aperture ring, while the exposure compensation
dial has been extended to ±3 stops. Also, the command lever has been changed to
a command dial, and through the adoption of a 4-way controller to improve
operability. The X100T is also now equipped with 7 customizable Fn buttons for
a truly personal shooting experience.
The FUJIFILM X100T has an upgraded body that is die-cast
magnesium on the top surface and bottom of the body for a highly durable and
functional design. The X100T’s aperture ring, shutter speed dial, and exposure
compensation dial now have a groove shaped pattern for an improved feel and grip.
The X100Talso features a high-definition 1.04M-dot 3” LCD has for extraordinary
visibility.
New “Classic
Chrome” film simulation
Fujifilm’s unprecedented image quality has been cultivated
through the development of photographic films over the past 80 years and helps
to reproduce warm skin tones, bright blue skies and rich green trees, just as
photographers remember the scene. The X100T ships with the new ‘Classic Chrome’
film simulation mode, which delivers muted tones and deep color reproduction.
