You can also choose from two F-Log recording options.
There is also a newly updated AF algorithm, which uses AI for claimed faster autofocus and improved subject detection and tracking performance in a wide array of lighting conditions.
The camera uses X-Processor 5’s subject detection AF to accurately track a range of subjects. Built using deep-learning AI technology, it detects animals, birds, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, airplanes, trains, insects, and drones.*
*Set the SUBJECT DETECTION SETTING to BIRD for insect detection, and AIRPLANE for detecting drones
The FUJIFILM X-T30 III also includes the Film Simulation mode REALA ACE. This joins 19 other included film simulation modes that you can choose from.
