Fujifilm X-Pro1 PDF User Manual
Did you lose or misplace the instruction manual that came with your Fujifilm X-Pro1? It happens all too easily, but fortunately Fujifilm makes a soft copy available that you can browse through online, print out, or download (see the pdf file below). It is certainly good practice to carefully familiarize oneself with the many different functionalities and options that the X-Pro1 offers, and the official user manual is without doubt an authoritative and comprehensive source of respective information.
That said, the instruction booklet can be a dry read, so that a dedicated camera guide book from a professional photographer that illustrates the camera's core functions in a real life photography context can be a very helpful complement. Yes, getting one of these camera guides (see here at amazon) would involve an additional expense, but if that book helps to exploit the camera's potential to the full, the (small) additional investment may well be worth it.
Also, you might want to check out the video tutorial on the Fujifilm X-Pro1 below.
In any case, the X-Pro1 is an advanced imaging tool, whose many features merit serious attention. This mirrorless interchangeable lens camera was announced on January 9th, 2012, which means that, as of today, the camera is 4641 days old (young?). The camera has meanwhile been discontinued and was succeeded by the Fujifilm X-Pro2 as a replacement in the same line of cameras.

Fujifilm X-Pro1 FAQ

What is the technology behind the imaging sensor in the Fujifilm X-Pro1?
The camera is build around a CMOS (Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor) sensor.

What is the life expectancy of the shutter in the Fujifilm X-Pro1?
Fujifilm does not publish a shutter rating for the X-Pro1. Yet, shutters in comparable cameras from other manufacturers are said to be good for at least 200 000 actuations. It should be noted, though, that this number represents a Mean Time before Failure. The shutter might fail earlier, or it might last longer.
