- X-Trans sensor (1)A sensor layout unique to Fujifilm which replaces the usual bayer pattern of red, green and blue photosites with a more ‘random’ arrangement. Fujifilm says this eliminates the need for a low-pass filter to combat moiré (interference) effects, resulting in sharper fine detail.
- XMP file (1)This is an additional file saved by some photo editing software alongside an original image to store adjustments and/or keywords and other metadata. It's used by Adobe for RAW files, for example, where it's not possible to embed this data directly in the file. These XMP files are often called 'sidecar' files because they are saved separately to but alongside the image they relate to.
