Charging The Fuji Xt-30: A Quick Guide

The Fujifilm X-T30 camera comes with an NP-W126S rechargeable battery that can be charged in about 180 minutes. The camera charges the battery internally. To charge the battery, turn the camera off and connect it to the supplied AC power adapter using the USB cable. The supplied AC power adapter is compatible with power supplies of 100 to 240 V. Alternatively, the battery can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer.

The Fuji XT-30 can be charged using a USB-C cable

When connecting to a computer, ensure the camera is turned off, the battery is inserted, and the USB cable is connected. The battery status will be shown by the indicator lamp. Connect the camera directly to the computer, rather than through a USB hub or keyboard. Charging via a computer may not be supported depending on the model and settings of the computer.

When charging via a wall outlet, you can use the supplied AC power adapter and USB cable. Connect the AC power adapter to the USB connector (Type-C) on the camera, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted. Then, plug the AC power adapter into an indoor power outlet. Charging takes about 180 minutes.

You can also use a third-party USB wall charger, such as a phone charger, to charge your Fuji XT-30. Any standard USB charger that outputs adequate, clean power will be fine, but it is recommended to use chargers with 1A and 5V output. While you can use USB-C devices with higher outputs, such as the OnePlus Dash Charger, these may cause your battery to deteriorate quickly and not hold a charge.

Additionally, you can use a USB power bank to charge your Fuji XT-30. A 5V power bank can be plugged directly into the USB-C port, and as long as it can push a couple of amps, it will be enough to run the camera.

The camera's battery is charged internally

The Fuji X-T30 camera can be charged internally, using the supplied AC power adapter and USB cable. The AC power adapter is compatible with power supplies of 100 to 240 V, but a plug adapter may be needed for overseas use.

To charge the camera, first, turn it off. Then, attach the plug adapter to the AC power adapter, ensuring it is fully inserted and clicks into place. Next, connect the camera to the AC power adapter using the supplied USB cable, connecting the cable to the camera's USB connector (Type-C). Finally, plug the AC power adapter into an indoor power outlet.

The indicator lamp will show the battery charge status. Charging takes about 180 minutes, and the battery should be charged one or two days before use as it gradually loses its charge when not in use.

It is important to note that the supplied plug adapter is exclusively for use with the AC-5VG AC power adapter, and it should not be used with other devices. Additionally, charging times may increase at low or high temperatures.

It takes about 180 minutes to fully charge the camera

When charging your Fuji XT-30 camera, it's important to keep in mind that it takes approximately 180 minutes to fully charge the device. This means that you should plan ahead and make sure you charge your camera in advance if you have an upcoming shoot or event where you'll need to use it. Here are some detailed instructions and tips to help you effectively charge your Fuji XT-30 camera in the given time frame:

First of all, ensure that your camera is turned off before beginning the charging process. The Fuji XT-30 camera comes with an NP-W126S rechargeable battery, which needs to be charged before initial use. It is recommended to use only genuine Fujifilm rechargeable batteries designated for this specific camera model to avoid any product malfunction.

To start charging, you'll need to connect the camera to a power source. You can use the supplied AC power adapter and USB cable. Simply attach the plug adapter to the AC power adapter, making sure it is fully inserted and clicks into place. Then, connect the camera to the AC power adapter using the USB cable, and plug the adapter into an indoor power outlet. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted.

During the charging process, the indicator lamp on the camera will display the battery charge status. If the camera is accidentally turned on while charging, a "K" icon will be displayed, and the charging will stop, causing the battery level to gradually decline. It is important to note that charging times may increase if the temperature is too low or too high.

While the Fuji XT-30 camera is designed to be charged via the supplied AC power adapter, there are alternative charging methods available. One option is to use a standard USB charger, such as a phone charger, that outputs adequate and clean USB power. You can also charge your camera using a power bank, but it is recommended to use one with USB-C Power Delivery (USB-C PD) to truly power the device effectively.

Additionally, charging via a computer is possible. Simply turn off the camera, insert the battery, and connect it to the computer using a USB cable. However, it is important to connect the camera directly to the computer and not through a USB hub or keyboard. Keep in mind that charging may not be supported depending on the computer model, settings, and its current state.

By following these instructions and allowing for the necessary charging time of approximately 180 minutes, you can ensure that your Fuji XT-30 camera is fully charged and ready for use. Remember to refer to the official Fujifilm guidelines for any specific recommendations or precautions regarding the charging process.
