Combining impressive imaging capabilities with an especially compact design, the FUJIFILM X-T30 Black is a versatile mirrorless camera distinguished by advanced still images and video recordings along with sleek and intuitive handling features. With a revised image sensor and processor, high-resolution still images and 4K video can be recorded, while a suitable autofocus system delivers fast and accurate focusing performance. The sensor, a 26.1MP APS-C format X-Trans CMOS 4, features a backlit design to promote better image quality across the sensitivity range, along with a 425-point phase detection autofocus system for fast and accurate AF performance and subject tracking. Complementing the image and focus is the X-Processor 4, which uses four CPUs for faster image processing, as well as continuous shooting up to 8fps with a mechanical shutter, 30fps with a 1.25x crop and an electronic shutter, and internal UHD 4K30 DCI video recording.

Sharing an aesthetic familiar from FUJIFILM's X-series cameras, the X-T30 has a classic-inspired look, has prominent physical controls, and a 2.36m high-resolution OLED electronic viewfinder. Conversely, a 1.04m 3.0" rear LCD display with tilting touchscreen can also be used for shots with live viewing and playback of larger images. In addition, the X-T30 also features built-in Bluetooth for wireless sharing and remote control.

• 26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor and X-Processor 4

Sharing a sensor with the professional-oriented X-T3, the X-T30 features a 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 APS-C sensor of APS-C format, which features a backlit design that offers smooth tonal reproduction and improved low-light performance, and a low native ISO 160 setting. As an X-Trans sensor, it also uses a randomized pixel array, which provides a high degree of image quality and sharpness due to the omission of a low-pass optical filter. Compared to conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely mimics the organic nature of film to produce nuanced colors and tonal transitions, while reducing the moiré effect and alias.

The sensor design also includes an expanded phase detection autofocus system, which now features 425 selectable points covering almost the entire sensor area. This AF system offers faster and more accurate focusing performance along with low-light sensitivity up to EV-3. Complementing the imaging and focus capabilities, an updated X-Processor 4 is also included, which provides faster focus response for subject tracking and also supports face and eye detection AF when working in AF-C mode and when recording video.

The X-Processor 4 also uses four CPU units for faster image processing and benefits overall performance with af and faster crawl speeds. Fast continuous shooting is possible, up to 8fps with a mechanical shutter or 30fps with an electronic shutter and 1.25x cropping, and internal 4K30 UHD video recording with F-Log is also supported.

• UHD and DCI 4K video recording

More than a still camera, the X-T30 offers a wide range of video capabilities, including internal 4K30 UHD video recording at up to 200 Mb/s, and simultaneous external and internal recording is possible. DCI 4K30 and Full HD 1080p120 recording is also possible, and video files can be saved using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H.265 compressions, and 4K. With a huge advantage in overall video performance, the speed of the X-Processor 4 quad CPU allows for fast read speeds when recording 4K video, helping to reduce blind distortion when shooting moving subjects.

The X-T30 also includes F-Log gamma adjustment, which provides a flat image for use in advanced color grading software during editing. This maximizes the potential dynamic range in difficult scenes and image adjustments can also be made to highlight hue, shade tone, color, and sharpness. When working in F-Log, an updated noise reduction algorithm is available along with 4K cross-frame noise reduction, and the minimum sensitivity has been reduced to ISO 640 to suit work across a wider range of scene types.

• Body

Bright and clear for eye-level viewing, a 2.36m dot OLED electronic viewfinder offers 0.62x magnification with fast refresh rate, wide viewing angle, and adjustable diopter settings. The viewfinder remains free of dimming while shooting up to the most important 30fps shooting speed, and an exclusive Sports Finder Mode can also be used, which highlights a 16.6MP crop area of the sensor to allow you to see outside the image frame.
In addition to the EVF. A 3.0" 1.04m-dot rear LCD touchscreen is available for intuitive live capture, playback and review, and configuration settings and menu navigation. The display also has a bidirectional tilt design to suit working from high and low angles, regardless of whether shooting with a landscape or portrait orientation.
The superior board incorporates a number of dials and levers for quick and intuitive control of exposure settings, including a shutter speed dial that offers direct shutter speed adjustment, a mode dial and an exposure compensation dial to choose +/- 3 EV in 1/3 steps, while a command dial position expands the range to +/- 5 EV for greater control.
Front and rear control dials integrate a push function for ease of use and selection of settings, and function buttons can be assigned to control a range of settings
A dedicated focus lever provides faster and more intuitive control over the selection of specific focus points during shooting.
Built-in Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy allows you to share images wirelessly on a mobile device or use the device to control the camera remotely.

• Film simulation and grain effect modes

Leveraging FUJIFILM's vast history in traditional film-based photography, the X-T30 integrates several film simulation modes. These modes mimic the appearance of some of FUJIFILM's classic film types, including Eterna, which copies the look and feel of a cinematic film with discrete colors and richer shades of shadow; Acros, which offers soft tones, deep blacks and fine details; and Classic Chrome, which is designed to offer muted tones and deep color reproduction, similar to that of a dated slide movie. Several other effects are also available for both monochrome and color photography. In addition to simulating specific types of movies, a grain effect mode is also available to replicate the look of old movie photos with an organic texture look, which is especially noticeable when printing.

Features Lens XC 18-55 mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS PZ

This short zoom lens offers a range of frequently used focal lengths, from 18mm in wide-angle to 55mm in telephoto*. The structure of the lens consists of 14 elements in 10 groups, including three aspherical elements and one of extra-low dispersion, in addition to a rounded diaphragm of seven leaves.

The linear motor-driven system delivers 0.1-second high-speed autofocus performance to capture the perfect photo opportunities. This lens is also suitable for video recording because of its silent operation.

Advanced optical and mechanical designs have been used to maintain the small size of the lens despite offering a maximum aperture of F2.8 – 4.0. It is a bright and very portable lens, which offers excellent image quality in different types of scenes and is suitable for low-light photography or scenes with an attractive background bokeh effect.

It incorporates an OIS (optical image stabilizer) equivalent to four stops, which controls the effects of camera movement and prevents blurry images. The lens is equipped with an aperture ring that allows users to easily adjust the aperture while holding the camera at eye level.

*Equivalent to 35 mm format: 27-84 mm.
