Fujifilm X-T30 II silver + XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR

FUJIFILM X-T30 II - lightweight and compact system camera with fast autofocus, touchscreen and 4K video

FUJIFILM expands the X series with the lightweight and compact mirrorless system camera FUJIFILM X-T30 II. The model offers high image quality and legendary FUJIFILM colors, as well as several advanced automatic functions and a manual mode. This makes the camera the ideal choice for all beginners and advanced photographers who want to capture high-quality images as uncomplicatedly as possible.

The FUJIFILM X-T30 II combines the compactness of the previous model X-T30 with the features of the current flagship FUJIFILM X-T4. Thus, a high-resolution 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and the proven X-Processor 4 work in the 378-gram body - a combination that also ensures, among other things, lightning-fast and pinpoint automatic focusing. The phase autofocus focuses on the subject in just 0.02 seconds and even works in the dark down to -7.0 EV* to reliably focus on objects indoors as well as during twilight.

Among the highlights of this powerful camera model is the enhanced automatic function. The popular AUTO mode has been given a better algorithm, which now analyzes the subject scene even better in order to then select the optimum camera settings in each case in a fraction of a second. This makes it very easy to take landscape photos with rich colors or portraits with beautiful skin tones, for example.

With the help of the 18 film simulations, the shots can be given an individual look that suits the scene in question. Choices include "Classic Neg." for snapshots and "ETERNA Bleach Bypass" for an expressive color effect. In addition, a brilliant 1.62-million-pixel LCD touchscreen and 4K/30p-quality video and spectacular slow-motion effects add excitement to shooting or filming.

Fast and precise autofocus

Almost the entire area of the FUJIFILM X-T30 II's 26.1-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor is populated with fast phase AF pixels. In combination with the powerful image processor X-Processor 4, lightning-fast autofocus is possible, focusing on the subject in up to 0.02 seconds. Phase AF guarantees precise focus even in near-total darkness down to -7.0 EV*.

An advanced AF algorithm ensures precise focus tracking when tracking dynamic subjects. Objects moving toward or away from the camera are reliably detected while the focus setting is continuously adjusted.

Advanced continuous shooting mode

The X-T30 II offers a fast continuous shooting speed. With mechanical shutter, up to 8 frames per second are possible. With electronic shutter, even 30 frames per second are achieved without viewfinder blackout.

Multiple film simulations

The X-T30 II offers 18 film simulations that digitally simulate the colors, gradations and tones of classic analog film. Choices include "Classic Neg." for the typical look of popular negative films or "ETERNA Bleach Bypass" for a creative developing effect. The advanced film simulations allow users to select an image style that best suits the shooting situation and mood - just as in the past, a different film could simply be inserted to achieve a specific effect.

Advanced AUTO functions

The popular AUTO mode, in which the camera automatically selects the settings that best suit the scene, features an algorithm that offers even better image quality than its predecessor. When the mode is activated, the Color Chrome effect (blue), clarity, dynamic range priority and other settings are now also adjusted depending on the shooting situation, for example to make landscape photos appear more brilliant, sky blue more vivid or skin tones more beautiful. In addition, the dynamic range is adjusted in backlit shots to prevent loss of detail in highlights and shadows. The AUTO function now makes it even easier to take beautiful pictures in different shooting situations.

Extensive video functions

The X-T30 II can record high-resolution 4K/30p video at 8-bit 4:2:0 to the inserted memory card or output at 10-bit 4:2:2 via the HDMI port. The oversampling of the sensor's 6K data achieves exceptionally high image quality. In high-speed mode, impressive slow motion with 10x deceleration is achieved with Full HD and 240 frames per second.

Convenient and easy operation

The camera offers various shooting modes, including the ability to control exposure completely manually using the shutter speed dial, as well as a fully automatic AUTO mode for spontaneous snapshots. The shutter speed dial makes it very easy to read the selected exposure time, even when the camera is turned off. The Auto mode selector switch on the top of the camera lets you quickly switch between automatic and manual modes.

The premium LCD touchscreen, which renders the image with 1.62 million pixels of maximum brilliance and sharpness, allows convenient control of the image result even while shooting.

Fujifilm XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR

The FUJINON XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR has a focal length of 18mm (equivalent to 27mm KB), offers a fast F1.4 aperture, and is suitable for a wide range of photographic situations.

At a length of 7.56 cm and a weight of only 370 g, the XF18mmF1.4 has a filter size of 62 mm and a minimum focus distance of 20 cm (distance from sensor to subject). This makes it a versatile lens, from landscape and urban photography to portraiture and wedding photography.

Additional flexibility in difficult lighting conditions is provided by the high F1.4 aperture, which also allows for shots with exceptionally beautiful bokeh. The FUJINON XF18mm F1.4 R LM WR is exactly in line with the FUJIFILM X series philosophy of developing lightweight and compact cameras and lenses with brilliant image quality. It offers outstanding optical performance without being heavy or bulky.

Exceptional performance

The optical construction of the XF18mmF1.4 includes 15 elements in nine groups, including three aspherical lenses and an ED element to minimize optical aberrations. This means that the finest details of an image are reproduced with a high degree of accuracy and sharpness. The six lens elements in the focus group move together to reduce aberration variations that can be caused by focusing. This results in uniform sharpness at every focus position of the lens.

Fast, accurate and virtually silent autofocus

The XF18mmF1.4 uses an internal autofocus system driven by a powerful linear motor to provide fast, accurate, and nearly silent autofocus. From the lens' minimum object distance (MOD) of 20 cm to infinity, the focus group of lens elements moves a total of only 2.5 mm. This means that the focus comes into focus in just 0.04 seconds*1. For precise control during manual focusing, the components of the manual focus ring have been specially designed to respond accurately, especially when the focus ring is moved slightly.

Weatherproof

The XF18mmF1.4 is also ideal for use in bad weather and adverse conditions. The metal body is sealed at eight points. This protects the inside of the lens from splashing water and dust, and ensures its readiness for use in cold temperatures down to minus 10 degrees Celsius. A lock function makes it possible to secure the aperture ring at the "Auto" position to prevent accidental adjustment when shooting.
