Used Fujifilm X30 Camera

A compact for the pro/enthusiast, the Fujifilm X30 is the successor to the popular Fujifilm X20. It features a 2/3-inch X-Trans II CMOS sensor and a f/2.0-2.8 4x manual barrel zoom lens, both of which are retained from the X20. New features for X30 include a newly-developed Real Time OLED Viewfinder, 3-inch tilting LCD, Wi-Fi connectivity, a new control ring along with extra dials and function buttons, plus improved battery life.

Newly-developed Real Time Viewfinder
With a magnification of 0.65x(*4) and a display lag time of just 0.005sec.(*5), the X30 has the largest and fastest viewfinder in its class. It offers a clear, high-definition Live View thanks to the new 2.36M-dot organic EL electronic viewfinder and newly-designed dedicated lens, plus visibility has been improved by automatically controlling finder brightness according to the ambient light levels.

Live View display can also be set the ‘Preview Pic. Effect’ function to reflect shooting conditions or offer a natural view close to what is seen with the naked eye, while the viewfinder’s eye sensor will also automatically switch the visible information when the camera is positioned vertically

X-Trans CMOS II sensor
The X30 features a 2/3-inch X-Trans CMOS II sensor which has a unique, random pixel array to control moiré and fake colors without needing an optical low-pass filter. Since the low-pass filter, which would cause a drop in image quality, is not required, light from the lens goes straight to the sensor to deliver excellent resolution and low noise.

World’s fastest high-speed AF at 0.06sec.
A combination of the X-Trans CMOS II sensor with phase-detection AF and the EXR Processor II processing engine means the X30 delivers a high-speed performance, along with high resolution and low noise. The phase-detection system focuses in just 0.06sec (compared with other digital cameras equipped with 2/3-inch sensor or larger) but the camera will automatically switch to contrast AF according to the subject and scene, so high-speed and high-precision AF is guaranteed on any scene. A startup time of 0.5sec shutter time lag of 0.01sec., and shooting interval of 0.3sec. also mean that users will never miss a photo opportunity. And High-speed continuous shooting of 12fps (18 frames continuously during JPEG shooting) at full resolution is possible.

High precision f/2.0-2.8 28mm-112mm 4x manual barrel zoom lens
The lens made up of 11 glass elements in nine groups, including three aspherical lens elements and two ED lens elements. The result is an ultra-bright lens with a wide-angle maximum aperture of f/2.0 and telephoto maximum aperture of f/2.8. FUJINON's proprietary HT-EBC is applied to the elements to effectively control flare and ghosting.

The optical 4x manual zoom lens allows quick, precise control over composition. The use of metal for the lens barrel and its internal structures provides a really smooth zooming action, while the Super Macro mode allows you to get as close as 1cm from your subject for stunning close-up shots. The X30’s unique image stabilization mechanism shifts five lens elements to compensate for camera shake by up to 3.0 stops, it also effectively prevents motion blur while stopping vignetting and loss of image resolution that usually occurs during camera shake compensation.

Full HD movies
60fps smooth Full HD movies can be shot with the X30. 50fps, 30fps, 25fps and 24fps frame rates can also be selected. Film simulation modes, including the new ‘Classic Chrome’ and detailed setting of white balance, are also possible.

Manual exposure can also be set during movie shooting. Aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity can be set, and movies can be shot at an exposure of the user’s preference. High-speed, high-precision focusing is made possible by activating Intelligent Hybrid AF, which switches between phase-detection AF and contrast AF according to scene, even during movie shooting. Manual focus is also possible.

Enhanced wireless functions Free Fujifilm Camera Remote application and Wireless Communication function allows you to remotely shoot images from smartphones and tablets. Wireless functions via the Fujifilm Camera Remote app include Touch AF, shutter release for stills and movies, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, ISO sensitivity, film simulation modes, white balance, macro, timer and flash. Instant transfer and location tagging of images via your smartphones and tablets. Wi-Fi transfer also enables wireless backup of the data in the camera onto the computer.

Long-lasting battery
The NP-95 battery has a capacity approximately 1.8 times greater than that of past models. Couple this with a low energy-consumption design due to system optimization and the X30 enables shooting of up to approximately 470 photos with one charge. By using the supplied micro USB cable, the camera can also be charged anytime and anywhere without a battery charger.
