The combination of the versatile and functional Fujinon lens and a bright viewfinder give you a sensational shooting experience.
The X10 features a newly developed manual 4x optical zoom lens utilizing Fujinon optical technology. With superb F2.0-2.8 brightness and a 4x optical zoom ranging from 28mm wide angle to 112mm telephoto, the lens not only delivers high resolution optical performance across the entire range, but is also a triumph of engineering due to its compact size. Boasting rich descriptive performance, the all-purpose lens captures your encounters with amazing presence.
In order to maintain the X10's compact shell whilst ensuring high image quality, Fujinon has adopted lenses made of glass with superior optical characteristics for all elements in the 9-groups/11-elements configuration. The design incorporates an arrangement of aspheric lenses, ED lenses and high-refractive index lenses, and are treated with Fujinon's originally developed Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating).
By using 3 high-performance aspherical lenses, the X10 delivers sharp image quality with rich resolution. These lenses also contribute to a more compact overall lens configuration and the X10's compact body size ensuring you can easily take it everywhere with you.
Two ED lenses have been employed for their low dispersion and effective reduction of chromatic aberrations. By preventing colour fringing and reducing contrast, the X10 lens captures images with superb accuracy across the zoom range from wide angle to telephoto.
From wide angle to telephoto, and from the centre of the image to the edges, the X10 fully exploits the advantages of its bright lens and demonstrates its superb resolution with the aperture at its widest setting. The X10's optical performance is designed to capture images with exceptional sharpness of detail and colour fidelity in every scene.

All the lens elements used in the X10 have been treated with multilayer Super EBC (Electron Beam Coating), the same process used for Fujinon broadcasting video lenses and large-format camera lenses acclaimed by professionals. Reducing ghosting and lens flare, the treatment promises clear image quality.
The newly developed OIS (optical image stabilization) mechanism shifts the group of 5 lens elements, correcting the position of the optical axis. This new mechanism effectively counteracts blur by preventing shading in edge areas and loss of resolution that tends to occur with conventional camera shake stabilization technologies.
The combination of the bright F2.0-2.8 lens and the 7-blade aperture diaphragm, capture the subject in crisp detail with a beautiful defocused “bokeh” effect.
The brightness and clarity of the viewfinder lets you see every detail of your picture from corner to corner, and comfortably allows you to frame your shot.
We have used a Dach prism configuration in the X10 to ensure we created a camera that was both compact in size and able to provide the ultimate clear, bright view.
Located next to the viewfinder, the dial lets you adjust viewfinder focus from -3.5 - +1.5m-1(dpt) for comfortable viewing even for glasses wearers.
