(SPOT.ph) Let's face it, one of the most sought-after careers these days is that of a content creator or influencer—roles that wouldn't have existed in the early 2000s. Some may see it as the path to stardom, while others genuinely see it as something that they're passionate about, and if they can earn from it, then all the better. Still, reaching viral status and producing quality content isn't as easy as it sounds. You need to consider many things like the story you want to tell and how you can achieve it. Sure, you can use your phone but we all know that when it comes to god-tier content, the best way to get those crisp and gorgeous shots is through a camera. Japanese brand Fujifilm recently announced their new camera, the X-S20, and yes, it has a function specifically for content creators.

Here's what you need to know about the Fujifilm X-S20:
The X-S20 is Fujifilm's successor to their widely popular entry-level X-S10 mirrorless camera which was released in 2020. While the body of the camera remains almost the same, the X-S20 has a few new bells and whistles like USB-C 3.2 connectivity (with 4K at 60fps video output support, no less!) and a built-in 3.5mm headphone port.
Given that it can now support video outputs of up to 4K in resoultion, content creators that specialize in streaming would have an easier time using the mirrorless camera as their webcam. Simply plug the camera into your computer and connect it to your streaming software of choice. You also don't need to worry about the battery dying on you since the USB-C cable charges your camera the moment it connects to your computer. Audio is also supported when you use the camera for streaming purposes.
The camera's mode specific to content creators is called Vlog Mode. The feature has multiple touchscreen settings set into a neat row in the camera's rotatable screen. Some of the features specific to this camera setting are product priority mode which enables the lens to quickly auto-focus on the subject nearest to the camera without having to hold the item against your palm a la YouTube beauty guru; face and eye detection which ensures that you're always focused in the frame; background defocus which will give you that soft and blurry background that you find on most YouTube videos; and image stabilization boost which smoothes any jerky footage in case you need to take content on the go.
Since the X-S20 is a mirrorless camera, those that have the previous version or already own any of Fujifilm's cameras can opt to just purchase the body (P79,990) in case they just want an upgrade to the new features and internal components. But for those that want the complete set-up, the camera and lens kit starts at P85,990 (XC15-44mm lens) and P103,990 (XF18-55mm lens) respectively.
The Fujifilm X-S20 starts at P79,990. You can pre-order it on Lazada and in Fujifilm retailers.
