The Fujifilm X-E5 is a 40.2MP APS-C mirrorless camera that features a single memory card slot that supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-II / UHS-I) memory cards.
SD cards support capacities of between 1-2GB, SDHC cards support 2-32GB and SDXC cards support 64GB-2TB.
For the best performance especially for continuous bursts we would recommend the faster UHS-II SDXC cards rather than the slower UHS-I cards. We also recommend formatting new cards in-camera before first use.

FAQs
How many images can be stored on a 64GB card?
The number of images that can be stored on a 64GB memory card in the X-E5 varies based on the image type that you are recording in. The following values are approximate because file size varies with the scene being shot:
- JPEG Fine: 2640
- JPEG Normal: 3950
- RAW Uncompressed: 730
- RAW Lossless Compressed: 1370
- RAW Compressed: 1940
How many minutes of video can be recorded on a 64GB card?
When recording in 4k 2160 you can record approximately 154 minutes of video. Shots over one hour in length will be split across multiple files.
Is a V90 rated UHS-II SDXC card required for video?
When shooting video with the Fujifilm X-E5 the maximum bitrate is 200 Mbps which is around 25 MB/s. So you don't need a V90 card to record video, a V60 or even a V30 rated card will work just fine. An SDXC card is recommended over SD or SDHC because this will avoid video files being split into 4GB chunks.
What is the difference between UHS-I and UHS-II memory cards?
UHS-II offers much faster speeds (up to 312 MB/s) compared to UHS-I (up to 104 MB/s). This is possible via a second row of pins and two data lanes for simultaneous upstream and downstream data transfer. The extra row of pins are visible on the back of UHS-II cards. Both card types are backward compatible, but a UHS-II card will only operate at UHS-I speeds in a camera that only supports UHS-I cards.
Are CFexpress Type B cards supported?
No, the X-E5 only supports SD/SDHC/SDXC (UHS-I / UHS-II) memory cards, CFexpress Type B cards will not physically fit the camera.
