Fujifilm X-T30 III Camera with XC 13-33mm Lens Black in More Detail

Fujifilm XC 13-33mm f/3.5-6.3 OIS kit lens

The kit includes the Fujifilm XC 13-33mm f/3.5-6.3 OIS lens, which is an extremely compact zoom that was released alongside the camera body. With a 20-50mm equivalent full-frame focal range, it covers everyday snapshots, from landscapes to portraits, vlogging and street. The lens weighs just 125g and features a retractable design, so it’s super easy to throw it in your camera bag. Built-in Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) provides up to 4 stops of compensation, so you can achieve sharp results when shooting handheld and in lower light.

Optics include 10 elements in 9 groups with 4 aspherical and 3 ED glass elements for sharpness and low distortion across the zoom range. It also has a 20cm minimum focusing distance, which is ideal for close-up shots and vlogging, while the compact 49mm filter thread is very accessible for adding stills and video lens filters.

Vintage Inspired Styling

The Fujifilm X-T30 III combines classic styling with modern handling, taking design takes cues from vintage cameras and features tactile dials for adjusting exposure settings and Film Simulations directly, without the need for going into menus.

A high-resolution touchscreen LCD provides a clear view when composing and reviewing images, and the camera is available in three stylish colours including Black, Silver and Charcoal Silver, with a different look to suit your own personal preference. The centrally positioned viewfinder is positioned directly above the lens axis, which provides a natural feel when composing through the finder, and extends the vintage-inspired styling with a classic design.

Fujifilm also reshaped the hand grip, which provides a more secure, comfortable hold while keeping the camera compact enough for everyday carry.

Highly Capable Sensor and Processor

The Fujifilm X-T30 III features a 26.1 megapixel back-illuminated X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor paired with the X-Processor 5, which is the same combination found in higher-end models like the X-S20. The newer processor is twice as fast as the previous version and consumes about 20% less power. This helps to improve autofocus speed, subject detection and overall camera responsiveness.

The 26.1MP sensor has already proven itself across many Fujifilm cameras, and is capable of delivering excellent image quality, fast shooting speeds and excellent results for both stills and video content. The X-Processor 5 also refines colour rendering and white balance, producing more natural skin tones straight out of camera.

Superb Autofocus Performance

The X-T30 III uses Fujifilm’s fifth-generation autofocus algorithm, offering the same level of performance found in the flagship X-H2S. Predictive autofocus has been significantly improved, making it much better at following moving subjects and maintaining focus on smaller subjects within the frame.

The AF system uses deep learning to recognise and track a wide variety of subjects, including:

• People (with eye and face detection)
• Birds and Animals
• Insects
• Cars, motorcycles and bicycles
• Trains, planes and drones

Human detection has also been upgraded, allowing the camera to recognise faces and eyes even when people are wearing glasses or masks, or when partially obscured by hair.

Portable Design for on-the-go creators

Despite packing a number of upgrades the X-T30 III is the same size and weight as the previous generation camera. It measures around 118.4mm x 82.8mm x 46.8mm and weighs only 378g, with a new Film Simulation dial replacing the previous drive dial on the top plate.

Film Simulation Modes with a Dedicated Dial

Two new Film Simulation modes have been added to the Mark III camera, for a total of 20 different Film Simulations that now include REALA ACE and NOSTALGIC Neg. The Film Simulation Dial enables instant access to several of these characterful colour profiles, and includes three dial positions to set your own exclusive FS (Film Simulation) recipes.

This allows you to ‘bake in’ your own defining style so that content looks consistent, exactly how you want it straight out of camera.

Additional styles include: PROVIA/STANDARD, Velvia/VIVID, ASTIA/SOFT, CLASSIC CHROME, PRO Neg. Hi, PRO Neg. Std, CLASSIC Neg., ETERNA/CINEMA, ETERNA BLEACH BYPASS, ACROS, ACROS+Ye Filter, ACROS+R Filter, ACROS+G Filter, MONOCHROME, MONOCHROME+Ye Filter, MONOCHROME+R Filter, MONOCHROME+G Filter, and SEPIA.

Intelligent Auto Shooting Mode

Fujifilm has introduced an Auto mode lever, which enables the camera to automatically select the best settings for optimal exposure based on the scene. It includes various scene types to suit different situations, with 15 types of scene presets for specific subjects or conditions such as Sport, Night, Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Party, Flower etc.

When selecting Intelligent Auto modes users can also select Auto subject detection and let the camera match the mode to the subject.

Built-in Flash

A pop-up flash can automatically adjust the amount of light it emits to prevent background shadows and subject highlights, capturing both beautifully with ease. The flash is also capable of adding enough fill to light your subject in near complete darkness, expanding the versatility of the camera for day and night shooting sessions. The body also includes a hot shoe mount, which enables the use of dedicated higher-powered flash units.

Electronic Shutter (20 fps)

ES 30 fps (x1.25 crop)

Advanced Movie Capabilities

Despite being more of an entry-level option, the X-T30 III is a highly capable video camera and offers a variety of modes for brilliant video content creation. It records up to 6.2K/30p at 4:2:2 10-bit quality using the full sensor area, giving you more flexibility when cropping or reframing footage in post. The same AI-assisted subject detection technology found in flagship models like the X-H2S and GFX100 II is also available, ensuring reliable tracking for people, animals and moving subjects during moviemaking.

The camera also supports 4K/60p and 1080/240P high-speed recording for slow motion playback, while Full HD and 9:16 vertical formats are available for quick social media delivery. A Portrait Enhancer mode helps to refine skin tones directly in-camera, and Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) with Boost mode can produce smoother handheld footage while recording.

Touch tracking is available via the LCD screen, which allows you to select a subject and keep it in focus as it moves around the scene. These features make the X-T30 III an excellent option for creators who want professional-looking content without needing to master the complexity of more advanced cinema cameras.

X Mount Lenses

The X-T30 III is from the Fujifilm X Mount system, which opens access to a large range of lenses that suit every possible style of photography and video. The X mount includes more than 40 Fujinon lenses, from compact XC zooms to premium XF primes with professional options.

Popular alternatives include the XF 35mm f/2 R WR for street and portraits, or the XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR for sports and wildlife.

Connectivity

Wireless connectivity is available via Wi-Fi (IEEE802.11b/g/n) with WPA2 and WPA3 security, and Bluetooth 5.2 Low Energy for a stable link to your smartphone or tablet. These allow image transfer, geotagging, and remote control through the Fujifilm XApp.

For wired connections, the camera includes a USB Type-C port that supports 10Gbps data transfer and charging, a Micro HDMI (Type D) output for external display or video recording, and a 2.5mm stereo mini-jack that accepts both microphones and remote releases.

An SD Card slot is compatible with UHS-I memory cards with support for SDHC Card (-32GB) and SDXC Card (-2TB).

FUJIFILM XApp

The FUJIFILM X-T30 III connects to your smartphone or tablet using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, which provides quick access to images and videos for editing or sharing.
