Fujifilm · X-Trans IV · 2019
X-Pro3
Discover analogue charm with the X-Pro3's hidden LCD and titanium finish.

In short
X-Trans IV recipes work on the X-Pro3. Enjoy Classic Negative, Eterna, and more, but Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue are not available on early X-Trans IV bodies like the X-T3 and X-T30.
Why it's the recipe body
The X-Pro3 is a photographer's delight, a harmonious blend of vintage aesthetics and modern technology. Its rangefinder-style body, with a titanium top plate, feels robust and luxurious in hand, offering a tactile shooting experience that invites creativity. The hidden LCD encourages you to shoot with intention, reducing distractions and immersing you in the moment. The X-Trans IV sensor brings enhanced colour reproduction and dynamic range, pivotal for those who love Fujifilm's film simulations. With the X-Pro3, you experience a tactile connection to your craft, reminiscent of the film days, fostering creativity and mindfulness with every shot.
The X-Pro3's X-Trans IV sensor supports a broad range of Fujifilm film-simulation recipes, including Classic Negative and Eterna. However, it lacks Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue, features introduced with later X-Trans IV bodies. Additionally, white balance shift cannot be saved per custom slot, requiring manual adjustment each time you set up a recipe.
Released in 2019, the X-Pro3 continues Fujifilm's tradition of blending analogue style with digital innovation.
