Available in solid black and solid silver, the Fujifilm XQ1's all-metal body is of the highest quality. With a stylish upper control deck, the black body has a textured finish, while the silver body is fully anodised with a single tone finish that matches the upper deck.

To maximise the power of the lens, Fujifilm has removed the optical low-pass filter from its X-Trans CMOS II sensor. In addition, the camera features a "Lens Modulation Optimiser," which minimises diffraction and chromatic aberrations by digitally processing images to improve sharpness and clarity. Extraordinary resolution can be experienced with simple shooting in JPEG format.

The Fujifilm XQ1 features a Fujinon 4x optical zoom that covers 25-100mm. The adoption of highly-refractive aspherical lenses facilitates the F1.8 brightness at the widest point. Clear images are captured even in low-light thanks to 3.0-stop image stabilisation and multi-layer coating technology unique to Fujinon.

The control ring offers operability similar to analog cameras. You can set your preferred functionality in advance and then use the control ring to finely adjust settings, without going to the menu screen. The user can set functions such as the aperture, exposure compensation and ISO of their choice.

With its impressive phase detection AF speed of 0.06 seconds it is the fastest in the world. Fujifim's EXR Processor II, the latest image processing engine, offers high-speed performance that captures any photo opportunity with a start-up time of 0.99 seconds, shooting interval of 0.3 seconds, shutter time lag of 0.015 seconds and continuous shooting of 12.0 fps (continuous shooting of max. approx. 9 frames).

With the "Wireless Image Transfer" function, images are easily transferred to smartphones and tablets simply by pushing the Wi-Fi button. Users can set the camera up to read its location from smartphones and tablets enabling you to keep tabs on where you took your photos. By using PC Auto Save, a backup of your pictures can be saved to your PC in just a few seconds.
