Focal points

As well as some major changes, the X-T3 features some other smaller refinements

AF-C custom settings The X-T3 inherits five presets in the AF-C custom settings, which also feature on the X-T2 and X-H1. These can be used to fine-tune how the camera reacts to the way in which the subject moves and where in the frame the camera prioritises focus. Users can also fine-tune the tracking sensitivity, speed tracking sensitivity and zone area, switching manually from the custom (Set 6) option.

Black & white adjustment The X-T3 introduces new black & white adjustment, whereby you can specify how warm or cool you’d like the mono effect to be. It’s available in all of the X-T3’s monochrome modes from the image quality settings.

Pre-shot function As you press the shutter button half way, the X-T3 begins to capture photos and stores them in its buffer. Press the shutter all the way to take a picture and the images before the shutter press are stored to the card.

Battery grip The new vertical battery grip (VG-XT3) fits two additional batteries and improves the 390-shot limit of a single battery to 1,100 shots, with the grip attached and two additional batteries inserted. The batteries in the grip can be recharged using the supplied AC adapter in around two hours.

Dual card slots Whereas some of the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras only have one card slot, the X-T3 has dual SD card slots. Both of these are fully compatible with the UHS-I and UHS-II type of SD cards.
