Features

Overview: The Fujifilm X-T3 is part of the X-series interchangeable lens digital cameras. It has the Fujifilm X-mount, and is compatible with XF-series lenses. This package includes the XF 18-55mm F2.8-4.0 R LM OIS water-resistant zoom lens.

Solid Body Construction: The X-T3's body is constructed of magnesium, making it solid, but lightweight. The body is weather-sealed to make it highly resistant to dust and moisture. The X-T3 also has the ability to work in extreme temperatures, from 14° to 140°F (-10° to 104°C).

3" LCD Monitor: The X-T3 has a 3" color LCD monitor with 1.04-million dots and approximately 100% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode. The monitor features 3-way tilting for better visibility while framing high-angle or low-angle shots from either landscape and portrait orientation. You can vary the amount of information displayed on the monitor from a full info display to "Information Off".

0.5" OLED Viewfinder: The camera is equipped with a 0.5" Organic LED (OLED) viewfinder with 3.69-million dots and a magnification ratio of 0.75x (w/50mm lens). It has a horizontal viewing angle of 30°. An eye sensor on the viewfinder automatically turns on the viewfinder and turns off the LCD monitor when you bring the camera up to your eye, and turns it off when you take it away. The viewfinder has a diopter correction dial that allows you to adjust the strength of the viewfinder to your eyesight. Once you have adjusted the diopter, it can be locked to prevent accidental adjustments.

Image Sensor/Processor: The X-T3 is the first X-series model to feature a new, back-illuminated image sensor. The X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor has a resolution of 26.1MP. The new sensor gives you enhanced image quality and a high S/N ratio. The new X-Processor 4 image processor offers blazing 0.06 second AF speed (in Boost Mode), 0.045 second shutter release time lag, and a 0.3 second start-up time.

Boost Mode: The Boost mode is available to improve focus speed and the viewfinder display if you need higher performance. In Boost mode, the viewfinder frame rate is increased from 60 fps to 100 fps, and Auto Focus speed is enhanced. Using boost mode decreases the life of the battery.

Recording Media: Still images and movies can be recorded onto optional SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards, including ultra-high-speed UHS-II format SD cards. Cards with a video speed class of V60 or better should be used to record movies at a bit rate of 400 Mbps. UHS speed class of 3 or better, or with a video speed class of V30, are recommended for recording movies at lower bit rates. No memory cards are included with the camera.

Dual Card Slots: The X-T3 has two SD card slots. In the menu, you can choose how the images are saved on the cards:

• Sequential: At the default setting, the camera will save photos and videos to the card in Slot 2 only when the card in Slot 1 is full. If desired, you can designate the card in Slot 2 to be filled first.
• Backup: Each photo/video is recorded to both cards simultaneously, creating a backup copy.
• RAW/JPEG: In this mode, RAW images are saved to the card in Slot 1, while JPEG images are saved to the card in Slot 2. You can choose which of the two cards are used to save recorded movies.

Still Image Quality: The X-T3 records still images in JPEG format in 3:2, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios in three sizes and two compression ratios (Fine or Normal). In addition, RAW images can be recorded from the raw, uncompressed image data from the camera's image sensor. RAW format images can be processed on a computer using the downloadable RAW File Converter application software, or converted to JPEG in the camera. You can also shoot a RAW + JPEG image at the same time, with separate RAW and JPEG files recorded and stored.

Recording Movies: The X-T3 is the first X-series model that features simultaneous 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-bit HDMI output and 4K/60p 4:2:0 10-bit internal SD card recording. A 10-bit color depth has 64 times the color information as an 8-bit system. Movies are recorded in H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, as well as H.265/HEVC for greater data compression. Movie audio is recorded in Linear PCM in 24-bit/48kHz stereo. You can choose from movies in the following resolutions:

• DCI 4K (4096 x 2160)(17:9): 59.94p / 50p / 29.97p / 25p / 24p / 23.98p; 400 Mbps / 200 Mbps / 100 Mbps; Max recording time: 20 min (59.94p / 50p), 30 min (29.97p, 25p, 24p, 23.98p)

• Pro Negative Std: a soft-toned palette. The range of hues available for skin tones is enhanced; a good choice for studio portraits.
• Eterna/Cinema: a setting for filming movies using a palette of subdued colors and deep shadows.
• Acros: for taking black-and-white photos with rich gradation and outstanding sharpness.
• Monochrome: standard black-and-white
• Sepia: takes pictures in sepia tone

Color Space: Depending upon how you intend to use the image, you can choose the output color space at the general sRGB setting or the broader color rendition of Adobe RGB (for commercial printing).

Exposure Compensation: Using the dedicated Exposure Compensation dial on the top of the camera, you can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure a total of 19 steps from -3.0 to +3.0 EV in 1/3 EV steps. When the dial is set to Custom (C), you can adjust the Exposure Compensation from -5.0 to +5.0 EV using the front command dial. The exposure compensation range for movies is -2.0EV to +2.0EV.

Bracketing: You can take a series of photos with varying settings for each picture. Bracketing options include:

• AE: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take multiple shots, one using the metered value for exposure, some overexposed by the selected amount (+/- 3 EV in 1/3 EV steps), and some underexposed by the same amount.
• ISO: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take multiple shots, one using the current sensitivity setting, some with the sensitivity raised by the selected amount (1/3, 2/3, 1 EV), and the others with the sensitivity lowered.
• Film Simulation: Each time the shutter is released, the camera takes one shot and processes it to create copies with the three film simulation settings selected.
• Dynamic Range: Each time the shutter is pressed, the camera will take three shots, each with different dynamic ranges: 100% for the first, 200% for the second, and 400% for the third.
• Focus: Each time the shutter button is pressed, the camera takes a series of photos, varying the focus with each shot.
• White Balance: After selecting a bracketing amount (+/-1, +/-2, +/-3), the camera takes one shot and processes it to create three copies: one at the current white balance setting, one with the fine tuning increased by the selected amount, and another with the fine tuning decreased by the selected amount.

Continuous Shooting: You can capture motion in a series of pictures using the Continuous Shooting mode. You can choose between CH (continuous high speed) or CL (continuous low speed). You can choose from the following frame rates:

Multiple Exposures: You can create a photograph that combines two exposures. After the first shot is taken, it will be shown superimposed on the view through the lens, and you will be prompted to take the second shot.

Self-timer: The camera gives you the choice of a 10-second or 2-second self timer. The 10 second self timer is recommended for self portraits, while the 2-second self timer is used to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed.

Focus Points: You can choose the number of focus points available for focus-point selection in manual focus mode, or when Single Point AF is selected. You can choose from 117 focus points, arranged in a 9 x 13 point grid, or 425 points in a 17 x 25 point grid.

Focus Modes: The camera lets you choose how the camera focuses. Using the rotary control on the front of the camera, you can select Single AF (S), Continuous AF (C), or Manual Focus (M).

Face Detection/Eye Detection: The camera lets you choose face detection to automatically detect human faces, or eye detection to automatically detect and accurately focus on human eyes for successful portraits with a shallow depth of field. You can even define the area of priority focus, including right or left eye, or the eye closer to the camera.

Flash Modes: The X-T3 does not have a built-in flash, but comes with the EF-X8 Shoe Mount Flash. Optional external flash units (EF-20, EF-42, EF-X20) can be used for additional lighting at night or indoors under low light. The camera has a sync terminal for connecting flash units that require a sync cable. Red-eye removal minimizes the "red-eye" effect, and is available for each flash mode. You can choose a flash mode for P, S, A, and M shooting modes: Flash Auto, TTL Flash Standard, Slow Sync (1st or 2nd Curtain), Manual Flash, and Off.

Light Metering: The X-T3 uses 256-segment, TTL (through-the-lens) metering, where the camera automatically assesses the scene and selects the optimum exposure. Using the ring surrounding the shutter speed dial, you can select from three metering options: Multi, Spot, Center-Weighted, or Average.

Viewing Images: Images can be played back one-at-a-time or in two multi-frame views of a 9-image grid (3 x 3) and a 100-image grid (10 x 10) of micro-thumbnails.

Playback Zoom/Cropping: You can enlarge a still image in the monitor according to the image quality (size). After you have zoomed in and scrolled the picture to the desired composition, you can create a cropped image of a picture. Copies will have an aspect ratio of 3:2, and will be saved as a separate file.

Resize: To create a small copy of a picture, you can select "Resize" from the menu. The new images vary in size with the original image.

Voice Memo: You can add a voice memo to a recorded photograph using the built-in microphone. The memo can be up to 30 seconds.

Power Requirements: The X-T3 is powered by the supplied NP-W126S Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery (7.2V, 1260mAh). The supplied BC-W126 battery charger will charge an NP-W126S battery in about 150 minutes. The estimated battery life is as follows:

Optional Vertical Battery Grip: The optional VG-XT3 Vertical Battery Grip is specifically designed for the X-T3 to bring out its full potential. The grip can fit 2 batteries, in addition to the one in the camera, to essentially triple the number of shots per charge. When holding the camera vertically (portrait orientation), the grip features a shutter release button, Q button, focus lever, command dials, AE-L button, and more to give you access to the controls. In addition, its tripod mounting socket is in line with the camera's optical axis. The estimated number of still images taken with the VG-XT3 attached are as follows:
