Overview

The Fujifilm X-T30 Mirrorless Digital Camera with XF 23mm F2 Lens is a perfect pair for professional videography. It brings various features of high-end mirrorless bodies such as the DCI and UHD 4K video recording and F-Log gamma. The camera comes with an updated 26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 engine for crystal-clear image rendering with accurate colors. You can also capture continuous shots at a speed of 8 and 30 fps. The film simulation modes and grain effects are the right tools for instant color grading of your videos and images. The built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 LE allow you to instantly send photos to smartphones and remote control the camera.

Optics and Focus

The Fujifilm X-T30 camera works with X-series lenses. With the provided 23mm F2 lens, you can take photos at various angles and lighting conditions easily. The lens uses 10 optical elements in 6 groups. Two aspherical elements are also a part of the lens construction to reduce distortion at the edges. A Super EBC coat is applied on the lens elements to minimize ghosting and flare. The stepping AF motor provides smooth and silent autofocus performance. Both the rounded 9-blade diaphragm and the maximum aperture of F2 add to image quality by offering smooth bokeh in the shallow depth of field. The 425-point phase-detection AF system ensures accuracy in low light down to -3 EV. It can recognize the subject even in cluttered scenery. With the weather-sealed construction, the lens can work in inclement conditions.

Sensor and Screen

The Fujifilm X-T30 camera can handle low-light situations with its 26.1 MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 sensor. Its back-illuminated design reduces noise at a high ISO. The X-Trans design of the sensor creates a similar look reminiscing film rolls. Also, the optical low-pass filter is omitted to increase image sharpness. The 3.0-inch, 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD lets you frame the shot from a high or low angle. You can also use the OLED electronic viewfinder, which has a 2.36m-dot resolution, to compose the scene from an eye-level position.

Image and Video

The Fujifilm X-T30 can shoot videos in DCI or UHD 4K resolution at 30 fps. You can also record videos in Full HD 1080p at a frame rate up to 60 fps. The image capture is possible at a maximum resolution of 6240×4160 pixels. You can take continuous shots at 8 fps with the mechanical shutter and 30 fps with the electronic shutter. The X-Processor 4 engine performs with 4 CPU units to speed up the video and burst shooting. You can apply the film simulation modes to the images and videos to give them a look of classic Fujifilm rolls.

Other Features

You can enable the built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.2 LE to transfer images to smartphones. The Bluetooth function also allows you to remotely control the camera via an app. The X-T30 has a pop-up flash with a guide number of 16.4 feet at ISO 100. A hot shoe is incorporated for mounting electronic flash heads. Fujifilm holds on to its roots by providing a PC terminal for connecting flashbulbs. The camera can record high-quality audio by connecting an on-camera microphone. Along with the camera, you get an NP-W126S Li-ion battery pack.
