The X Series began with the 2011 release of X100
globally. The X-Pro1, released in 2012, became the first model to feature the
X-Trans CMOS sensor, which uses a unique color filter array based on FUJIFILM’s
extensive photographic expertise to achieve exceptional image-resolving
performance and control of false colors at the same time, as well as the EXR Professor
Pro image processing engine compatible with the sensor. For seven years, the X
Series and its sensor – image processing engine combination have continued to
evolve, with the company unveiling “X-Trans CMOS II” / “EXR Processor Pro II”
in the X-T1, released in 2014, and “X-Trans CMOS III” / “X-Processor Pro” in
the X-Pro2 and X-T2, released in 2016. The three generations of evolution have
constantly advanced the X Series’ image quality and mobility.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Haruto Iwata,
Managing Director, Fujifilm India Pvt. Ltd. said, “It is a
proud moment for us to announce the much-awaited Fujifilm X-T3 mirrorless
digital camera in the same year which marks our 10th anniversary in India. As
we celebrate this success today, we are also gearing up for the next big leap
towards new goals, one of which is to achieve 30% Market Share in the Indian
Mirrorless Market in the next 3-4 Years. X-T3 is our step towards that endeavor
and we at Fujifilm are confident that the new X-T3 will receive the same
recognition and acceptance received by its predecessors. We strongly believe
that in the next five years demand for mirrorless cameras will surpass that of
DSLRs. We will continue to bring the best of technology and innovation to our
consumers at the best possible price point.”
The latest model, X-T3, features the new X-Trans
CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4 image processing engine, ushering in a new,
fourth generation of the X Series.
[New devices]
1.
X-Trans CMOS 4: This is the back-illuminated APS-C
sensor with more than 4 times the number of phase detection pixels than current
models (*2), distributed across the surface. It boasts a high S/N ratio and the
lowest sensitivity of ISO160 despite its 26MP resolution. The low-light
autofocus limit has also been extended to -3EV, enabling accurate AF even in
low light conditions, e.g. scene lit only with candlelight.
2.
X Processor 4: This engine has 4 CPU units to
achieve image processing speed about 3 times faster than that of current models
(*2). Not only boosting AF accuracy and speed substantially, the engine is the
world’s first to delivers 4K/60P 10bit output, meeting the needs of
professional videographers, in a mirrorless camera equipped with a sensor in
the APS-C size or larger. It is also capable of instantaneously handling
complex image processing tasks such as FUJIFILM’s unique “Color Chrome Effect”
and “Monochrome Adjustment” function, achieving Warm Black / Cool Black tone in
digital, which is adopted as one of the way of expression for monochrome print
in silver halide film.
3.
The X-T3 takes full advantage of the capability
of these fourth-generation devices to enjoy significant performance
improvement.
1.
Higher image quality: Highest level of 26.1MP
resolution in APS-C size sensor. Also, it achieves keeps as low level of noise
as current models (*2) even increasing the number of pixels.
2.
Dramatically improved AF performance: 1.5 times
faster processing speed than current models (*2) to deliver faster and more
accurate AF, and substantially enhanced performance in face / eye detection AF
thanks to 2.16M phase detection pixels arrayed at entire frame.
3.
Significant improvement in tracking performance of fast-moving
subject: Delivering blackout-free continuous shooting (*3) of up to 30 fps
while using smooth Live View of 60fps to check your subject.
4.
Video performance for professionals: Supporting
4K/60P 4:2:0 10bit internal SD card recording as well as 4K/60P 4:2:2
10bit HDMI output, which can be filmed at the same time. Also, featuring the
video-specialized Film Simulation mode “ETERNA,” popular with the X-H1.
*1 X-TransTM is FUJIFILM Corporation’s trademark or registered trademark. The
sensor has a unique non-periodic filter array to reduce the appearance of moire
patterns and false colors without the use of an optical low-pass filter.

X-H1”
*3 Available only when using the electronic shutter
[Main features]
Use of the Series’ fourth-generation devices, new sensor “X-Trans
CMOS 4” and new processor “X-Processor 4,” for the highest image resolving
performance, color reproducibility and fastest processing in the history of the
X Series
- The
X-T3 features the X Series’ fourth-generation APS-C sensor, newly
developed “X-Trans CMOS 4” (26.1MP, without low-pass filter). It uses the unique color filter array synonymous to X-Trans
CMOS sensors to control moire and false colors and adopts the Series’
first back-illuminated structure to improve image resolution without
compromising the S/N ratio. Furthermore, the sensitivity of ISO160, previously
available only as extended ISO, is now part of the normal ISO range. It is
very useful in daylight outdoor shooting or when trying to achieve bokeh
with a fast large-aperture lens.
- The
X-T3 uses the new “X-Processor 4” image processing engine to add the new
“monochrome adjustment” function to the Film Simulation modes, which are
based on FUJIFILM’s proprietary technology to deliver diverse color
expressions. Warm black and cool black, conventionally achieved with a
choice of specific photographic papers and developers, have been
faithfully reproduced digitally to broaden the scope of monochrome
expressions. This function is available in the standard “Monochrome” mode
as well as the “ACROS” mode, which provides smooth halftones, deep blacks
and beautiful textures.
- The
“Color Chrome Effect,” previously only available in FUJIFILM’s
medium-format mirrorless digital camera “GFX50S,” is featured in the X-T3,
the first in the X Series. The effect produces deeper colors and gradation
in subjects with highly saturated colors, such as vivid-colored flowers
with shadows, a notoriously difficult photo subject for gradation
reproduction. The high-speed processing power of the X-Processor 4 means
this effect can be applied not only in single shots but also in continuous
shooting.
Use of the new devices and improved algorithm for significant
improvement in AF performance in low light and when tracking a moving subject
- The
X-Trans CMOS 4 has 2.16M phase detection pixels, more than 4 times
compared to current models (*2), increasing the phase detection AF area to
entire frame (approx. 100%). Fast and accurate phase detection AF can be
used even on a subject that is positioned away from the center of the
frame. The low-light phase detection
autofocus limit has also been extended by around 2 stops from -1EV to
-3EV, making it possible to accurately focus in low light conditions, e.g.
a scene lit only with candlelight, or night-time photography. Furthermore,
the X-Processor 4’s high processing speed and improved phase detection
algorithm means the camera refocuses (AF) and meters (AE) 1.5 times more
frequently than current models (*2) to enable accurate autofocus even when
shooting sports involving fast and erratic movements across the frame.
- The performance of face-detection AF on a moving person
has been doubled over current models (*2). The eye-detection AF supports
the AF-C mode, maintaining accurate focus tracking even in portrait
photography that involves movements. The X-T3 focuses accurately when
shooting a person front-on or side-on, even in situations where the face-
or eye-detection AF previously had difficulty. The face- and eye-detection
AF is available also during video recording to achieve smooth filming of
persons.
Enhanced viewfinder performance improving the
ability to track a moving subject
- The
X-T3 features a 3.69-million-dot high resolution EVF with a high
magnification ratio of 0.75x. The display time lag of just 0.005 seconds
and refresh rate of approx. 100 fps ensure smooth display of motions,
allowing you to precisely identify subject movements and focus positions.
Unlike current models (*2), continuous shooting of 11 fps with the
mechanical shutter no longer requires the optional vertical grip, enabling
fast continuous shooting while keeping the camera weight low.
- The
new “Sports finder mode” makes it easy to capture a moving subject. The
mode shows approx. 16.6M (1.25x crop) area marking in the LCD/viewfinder,
and shoots the area within the marking. This is particularly useful for
sports photography and wildlife photography, as you can check the
movements of a subject just outside the shooting frame and take advantage
of shorter-than-usual blackout time.
- Increased read speed from the sensor and high-speed
processing capability have made it possible to enjoy AF/AE-tracking,
blackout-free continuous shooting(*3) of up to 30 fps in approx. 16.6M
(1.25x crop) mode, while using smooth Live View of 60fps to check your
subject. The rolling shutter distortion, a typical issue of electronic
shutters, has been halved compared to current (*2) models.
- In order to never miss a crucial shutter moment, the
X-T3 has the new “Pre-Shoot” function (*3), in which the camera starts
shooting as soon as the shutter button is half-pressed. You will never
miss an important photo opportunity, previously caused by time lag between
the moment when the shutter button is fully pressed and the moment when a
photo is actually taken.
Design / operability and expandability
- The X-T3 inherits X-T2’s popular design features such
as the positioning of dials on the top panel, central viewfinder style for
added sense of stability, and excellent grip design for comfort. The
silver color is lineup as standard, which features more classical tone
compared with graphite silver, limited edition for previous models. Its
styling that reminds you of traditional film cameras is combined with
outstanding practicality, making it photographic equipment that is a
pleasure to own for many years to come.
- Enhanced
operability and expandability in response to user feedback
<Specific
areas of operability enhancement>
·
・EVF’s diopter adjustment is
lockable achieved by pulling out and rotating a diopter knob, so as to prevent
unintended adjustments while carrying the camera.
·
・The X-T3 uses a touchscreen panel with higher contrast, wider
viewing angle and better operability than those in previous models to enable
intuitive operation.
·
・The X-T3 inherits X-H1’s
features such as large top-panel dials / rear-panel buttons and comfortable
clicking touch of front and rear command dials.
·
・A headphone jack is provided on the camera body so that all
accessories required for video recording, such as microphone and HDMI devices
can be centrally connected to the body for added mobility in videography.
·
・Terminal cover is removable, providing easy connectivity for HDMI
cables, microphones, headphones. Also it will not disturb when setting up with
rig for movie shooting.
·
・The USB terminal supports USB Type-C (USB3.1 Gen1) specifications.
Enhanced video performance
- This
is the world’s first mirrorless digital camera capable of internal SD card
recording 4K/60P 4:2:0 10bit. It is also the world’s first mirrorless
digital camera with APS-C or larger sensor capable of 4K/60P 4:2:2 10bit HDMI output. Supported video
formats include the widely-used H.264/MPEG-4 AVC as well as H.265/HEVC for
greater data compression. This enables the use of high 200Mbps bitrate in
recording of 4K/60P 4:2:0 10bit, as well as simultaneous HDMI output while
recording. Video compression options available are ALL-Intra (*4) and Long
GOP. When using ALL-Intra, video is recorded at 400Mbps (*5).
- The
sensor’s read speed is about 50% faster than current models (*2), which
enables fast 17msec reading of 4K/60P video. The rolling shutter
distortion has been reduced for smooth replay of a fast-moving subject.
The camera’s support for 10bit color depth boosts the amount of color
information 64 times compared to 8bit. This is combined with 400% (approx.
12 stops) dynamic range for capturing materials of rich gradation, such as
a sunset landscape.
- The introduction of a new noise reduction process and
new “4K interframe noise reduction” function have reduced noise by the
equivalent of approx. 2 stops. The new NR process has an enhanced level of
noise-identifying accuracy for appropriate denoising performance. The 4K
interframe NR function (*5) uses differential data between adjacent frames
to reduce noise. Furthermore, the minimum sensitivity for shooting F-Log
and DR400% footage has been extended from the current models’ (*2) ISO800
to ISO640, meeting the needs of videographers.
- In
addition to the abovementioned functions, the X-T3 will, after applying a
firmware update to be released by the end of 2018, support video recording
in the Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG), one of the formats defined in the ITU-R
BT.2100 international standards. In response to user feedback, the
firmware update is also due to give the X-T3 an ability to simultaneously
output Film Simulation and F-Log footage.
*4 Available at 4K/29.97P, 25P, 24P, 23.98P, and FHD/59.94P, 50P,
29.97P, 25P, 24P, 23.98P when H.265/HEVC is selected.

- ・This grip is dust-resistant,
water-resistant and capable of operating at temperatures as low as -10°C.
It fits two batteries, bringing the total number of batteries to three,
including the one on the camera body, to increase the maximum number of
frames that can be taken per charge to approx. 1,100 (Normal mode). The
camera does not need to suspend its operation to switch to a new battery,
even during continuous shooting or video recording, providing a
stress-free shooting experience.
- ・The grip features the shutter
release button, focus lever, AE-L button, AF-L button, command dials, Q
button and Fn button to provide the same level of excellent operability in
vertical shooting as you get in horizontal operation.
