Cameras are equipped with EXR Processor II processor and can take pictures up to 4896 x 3264 resolution.

Lens Mount

Cameras have Fujifilm X lens mount. Due to their APS-C sensor their crop factor (also called lens multiplier) is equal to 1.5x. This means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 1.5.

No Low-Pass Filter on Fujifilm X-T1 IR

There is no optical low-pass filter (OLPF), also known as an anti-aliasing filter, in front of the sensor on Fujifilm X-T1 IR. This results in a slightly sharper image but may also introduce moiré patterns and aliasing artifacts when photographing subjects with fine, repetitive patterns or details.

No Image Stabilization

The cameras do not have image stabilization. On Fujifilm X-T1 IR it means that you need lenses with optical image stabilization for vibration reduction. As for Fujifilm X-T1 nothing can be done.
