Offering powerful stills and video features, coupled with a compact, functional design, the FUJIFILM X-T30 II
is a versatile mirrorless camera distinguished by advanced stills and
video recording along with sleek and intuitive handling characteristics.
Featuring a revised image sensor and processor, both high-resolution
stills and 4K video can be recorded while an enhanced autofocus system
delivers fast and accurate focusing performance. The 26.1MP APS-C-format
X-Trans CMOS 4 image sensor features a back-illuminated design to
promote greater image quality throughout the sensitivity range along
with a 425-point phase-detection autofocus system for quick, precise AF
performance and subject tracking. The 100% phase-detect autofocus
provides strong face and eye detection autofocus with a new Face
Selection option. Complementing the imaging and focusing is the
X-Processor 4, which uses four CPUs for faster image processing as well
as continuous shooting up to 8 fps with a mechanical shutter, 30 fps
shooting at a 1.25x crop and electronic shutter, and internal DCI/UHD
4K30 video recording.
Sharing a familiar aesthetic of FUJIFILM
X-series cameras, the X-T30 II sports a black finish and classically
inspired looks, has prominent physical controls, and has a
high-resolution 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder. The rear 3.0"
1.04m-dot tilting touchscreen LCD can also be used for live view
shooting and larger image playback. Additionally, the X-T30 II also
sports 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 II features an
APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, which has a back-illuminated
design to afford smooth tonal rendering, improved low-light performance,
and a low native ISO 160 setting. As an X-Trans sensor, it utilizes a
randomized pixel array, too, which provides a high degree of image
quality and sharpness due to the omission of an optical low-pass filter.
Versus conventional pixel patterns, the X-Trans design more closely
mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colors and
tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing.
The
sensor's design also includes an expanded phase-detection autofocus
system, which now has 425 selectable points that cover nearly the entire
sensor area. This AF system delivers faster, more accurate focusing
performance along with low-light sensitivity down to EV -3.
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.
The X-Processor 4
also utilizes four CPU units for faster image processing and it
benefits overall performance with faster AF and tracking speeds. Quick
continuous shooting is possible, up to 8 fps with a mechanical shutter
or 30 fps with an electronic shutter and a 1.25x crop, and internal UHD
4K30 video recording with F-Log is also supported.
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 also includes the F-Log gamma setting, which
provides a flat picture for use in advanced color grading software
during editing. This maximizes the potential dynamic range in difficult
scenes and image adjustments can be made, as well, to highlight tone,
shadow tone, color, 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 offers fast, accurate
autofocusing in as little as 0.02 sec on any subject, but significant
enhancements have been made to track moving subjects, optimizing
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. 425 100% 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" 1.04m-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.
18 Film Simulation and Grain Effect Modes
Taking
advantage of FUJIFILM's vast history in traditional film-based
photography, the X-T30 II integrates several Film Simulation modes.
These 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 colors 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 color reproduction, similar
to that of a dated slide film. Several other effects are also available
for both monochrome and color shooting. In addition to simulating
specific film types, a 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.
Bluetooth V4.2 and Wi-Fi Sharing
Use
Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to share images with friends and family on social
media, by connecting and downloading images to the FUJIFILM Camera
Remote App, or instantly connect and print your favorites from any
compatible FUJIFILM INSTAX Smartphone printer.
XF 15-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens
Bundled
with the camera body is a versatile zoom that covers many different
scenarios. The XF 15-45mm f/2.8-4 R LM OIS lens features a 23-69mm
equivalent focal length that covers wide angle to telephoto perspectives
with ease. The f/3.5-5.6 maximum aperture range ensures compact design.
A linear autofocus motor ensures fast performance while an optical
image stabilizer will limit the effects of camera shake.
