Inspiring a New Generation of Photographers – Fujifilm Introduces FUJIFILM X-T30 III

The latest model in the popular FUJIFILM X-T30 series offers a blend of classic design, cutting-edge features, and ease of use

MISSISSAUGA, ON. – October 23, 2025 – FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging Division, today announced the worldwide launch of its FUJIFILM X-T30 III (X-T30 III) mirrorless digital camera. The latest iteration in the X-T30 series, X-T30 III gives still-focused photographers access to film-inspired looks, a growing lineup of interchangeable lenses, and the confidence that comes from reliable autofocus and long battery life.

“X-T30 III is for stills-inspired storytellers ready to make their next move – leveling up beyond their smartphones or earlier FUJIFILM X Series gear and into a more intentional image-making process,” said Victor Ha, vice president, FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Electronic Imaging and Optical Devices Divisions. “It combines a compact form factor and traditional design with modern innovations like AI autofocus, longer battery life, and one-button simplicity for ease of use in everyday situations. The added Film Simulation dial encourages artistic exploration with straight out of the camera results, reminding users of the strengths of Fujifilm’s image quality and color science, while support for interchangeable lenses provides additional creative flexibility as both their photo and video skills and interests grow.”

Product Features

Advanced image processing delivers superb results and fast, accurate autofocus

FUJIFILM X-T30 III features a back-side illuminated 26.1-megapixel X-TransTM CMOS 4 sensor and the latest high-speed X-Processor 5 image processor. Thanks to improved power efficiency, battery life is now 425 frames per charge (when using Economy Mode).
The camera uses the latest subject detection autofocus powered by deep-learning AI technology. In addition to face and eye detection, it automatically recognizes and tracks a wide range of subjects, including animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones¹.
X-T30 III supports up to 6.2K/30p internal recording in HEVC 4:2:2 10-bit quality. It also features high frame rate options including 4K/60p and 1080/240p. Powerful digital image stabilization reduces both small amounts of shake and more pronounced movement, such as recording video while walking.

Compact, lightweight design with Film Simulation dial expands creative options

FUJIFILM X-T30 III is the same size and weight as its predecessor, X-T30 II, making it ideal as an everyday carry. It measures 4.66×3.26×1.84in (118.4×82.8×46.8mm) and weighs 13.3oz² (378g). The central viewfinder and dial-based design offers the same classic film- camera experience as other models in the X-T range.
A total of 20 Film Simulations, including REALA ACE and NOSTALGIC Neg, can be accessed via the top-plate Film Simulation dial. This unique digital color reproduction technology faithfully recreates the look of traditional analog films, making it easy to get great results straight out of camera, even for first-time digital camera users.
The dial has three customizable positions³ (FS1-FS3), where users can save their favorite Film Simulation and selected image settings as original Film Simulation recipes. These can be accessed quickly by turning the dial, adding extra creative options for different scenes and subjects, using options including Grain Effect, Color Tone, and Highlights, for a truly bespoke look.

Fully featured, yet simple to use

A dedicated switch on the top of the camera selects AUTO mode, where X-T30 III automatically detects the scene and selects optimal focus and exposure settings, leaving users to concentrate on creating memorable images.
The camera has a built-in flash. When switched on, it automatically adjusts flash output, making it ideal for portraits in low-light or backlit situations.
The central viewfinder places the finder directly above the lens axis. This helps users focus more easily on the subject and background, recreating the classic film-camera experience.
The tilting rear LCD monitor uses 1.62 million dots, making it simpler to frame images from high or low angles – perfect for travel and landscape photography.
An ergonomically designed grip fits comfortably in the hand, offering assured handling despite the camera’s compact dimensions.
X-T30 III connects wirelessly to selected instax^TM Link smartphone printers4, for direct printing without using an app. Newly added support for the instax^TM mini, instax^TM SQUARE, and instax^TM WIDE formats helps users enjoy a seamless experience from making to printing.
