Fujifilm X-T30 II Mirrorless Camera (Silver)

Featuring the same APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor as the professional-grade X-T3, the Fujifilm X-T30 II offers back-illuminated design for smooth tonal rendering, enhanced low-light performance, and a low native ISO of 160. Its unique randomized pixel array replaces the optical low-pass filter, delivering exceptional image sharpness and quality. This X-Trans sensor mimics the organic characteristics of film, producing rich colours and smooth tonal transitions while effectively reducing moir and aliasing artefacts.

The sensor's design also includes a 100% phase-detection autofocus system, which has 425 selectable points that covers nearly the entire sensor area. This AF system delivers faster, more accurate focusing performance along with low-light sensitivity down to EV -7. Complementing the imaging and focusing capabilities, an updated X-Processor 4 is also featured, and delivers faster focus response for subject tracking and also supports Face- and Eye-Detection AF when working in AF-C mode and when recording video.

UHD and DCI 4K Video Recording

More than a stills camera, the X-T30 offers an enticing array of video capabilities, including internal UHD 4K30 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 either MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 or HEVC/H.265 compressions, and 4K. Greatly benefitting overall video performance, the speed of the quad-CPU X-Processor 4 enables fast read speeds when recording 4K video, which helps to reduce rolling shutter distortion when filming moving subjects.

The X-T30 II also includes the F-Log gamma setting, which provides a flat picture for use in advanced colour grading software during editing. This maximises the potential dynamic range in difficult scenes and image adjustments can be made, as well, to highlight tone, shadow tone, colour, and sharpness. When working in F-Log, an updated noise reduction algorithm is available along with 4K inter-frame noise reduction, and the minimum sensitivity has been lowered to ISO 640 to suit working in a broader range of scene types.

Enhanced Autofocus

The X-Processor 4 quad-core CPU inside X-T30 II uses Intelligent Hybrid AF to offer fast, accurate focus in as little as 0.02 sec on any subject, but significant enhancements have been made to track moving subjects, optimising autofocus for both stills and its powerful 4K/30p video capabilities. Low light focusing performance has also been expanded from the original model, down to -7EV. 425 sensors provide 100% phase detect AF across the frame, with strong face and eye detection AF with new Face Selection option.

Body Design

A bright and clear means for eye-level viewing, a 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder offers a 0.62x magnification with a fast refresh rate, wide viewing angle, and adjustable diopter settings. The viewfinder remains blackout free while shooting up to the top 30 fps shooting rate, and a unique Sports Finder Mode can also be employed, which highlights a 16.6MP crop area of the sensor in order to allow you to see outside of the image frame.

In addition to the EVF, a rear 3.0" 1.62m-dot LCD touchscreen is available for intuitive live view shooting, playback and review, and settings adjustment and menu navigation. The screen has a two-way tilting design to suit working from high and low angles regardless if shooting with a horizontal or vertical orientation.

The top plate incorporates a series of dials and levers for fast, intuitive control over 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 further control.

Front and rear command dials integrate a push function for easier use and settings selection and function buttons can be assigned to control a range of settings.

A dedicated Focus Lever provides faster, more intuitive control over selecting specific focus points while shooting.

Integrated Bluetooth 4.2 low energy allows you to wirelessly share images to a mobile device or use the device to remotely control the camera.

Film Simulation Modes

Taking advantage of Fujifilm's vast history in traditional film-based photography, the X-T30 II integrates several Film Simulation modes. These customisable modes mimic the look and feel of some of Fujifilm's classic film types, including Eterna, which copies the look of cinematic film with understated colours and richer shadow tones; Acros, which offers smooth tones, deep blacks, and fine detail; and Classic Chrome, which is designed to deliver muted tones and a deep colour reproduction, similar to that of a dated slide film. Several other effects are also available for both monochrome and colour shooting. In addition to simulating specific film types, a customisable Grain Effect mode is also available to replicate the look of old film photos with an organic textured appearance, which is especially noticeable when printing.
