Faster and more accurate AF performance
The number of phase detection pixels in the sensor has been increased to 2.16 million and the phase detection AF area covers the entire frame (approx. 100%), enabling fast and accurate autofocusing. The low-light limit for phase detection AF has been also expanded from +0.5EV in the previous-generation camera systems to -3.0EV.
Six AF Modes
AF modes available are “Single Point AF” for prioritizing focus on a single chosen point, “Zone AF” suitable for a moving subject, and “Wide / Tracking AF.” Each of them can be combined with the AF-S and AF-C modes to create six AF patterns in total.
AF-S + Single Point
Basic AF mode for focusing on a single chosen point in a subject
AF-S + Zone
Capturing a moving subject in a large AF area
AF-S + Wide
Automatically capturing a subject that makes unpredictable movements across the frame
AF-C + Zone
Capturing a subject that makes a linear movement
AF-S + Wide
Tracking a subject that makes less-challenging movements that can be followed manually hand-held
AF-C + Tracking
Automatically tracking a subject that moves across the frame
Mechanical Shutter and Electronic Shutter
The FUJIFILM X-T30 can shoot continuously at up to 8.0fps in full resolution when using the mechanical shutter, and offers the Sport Viewfinder mode, which shoots pictures within a cropped area representing approx. 16.6 megapixels (1.25x crop), marked within the viewfinder view, so that you can check the movements of a subject even before it comes into the shooting frame. By using the electronic shutter, the FUJIFILM X-T30 supports blackout-free high-speed continuous shooting of up to 30fps*1. When the electronic shutter is selected, you can also choose the Silent mode.
"Face- and eye-detection AF" for better portrait photographs
The tracking performance of the “Face- and Eye-detection AF” is twice as good as previous models. The FUJIFILM X-T30 maintains accurate focus on people from the front or side in scenes which were notoriously difficult to track. The eye-detection AF is also supported in the AF-C mode, focus-tracking subject’s eyes in portraiture that involves movements. The eye-detection AF can be configured to priority-focus on either right or left eye or the eye closest to the camera. It is a powerful tool in portrait photography, which demands focus accuracy with a shallow depth of field.
"Face Select" function to make sure to capture an important subject
When there are multiple faces within the frame, you can select a specific person on the touchscreen panel or with the Focus Lever so that autofocus and exposure settings are optimized for the subject. “Face Select” is a perfect tool when shooting commemorative photos or shooting a specific person in a large crowd in sports or other events.
