You may want to check your box again, the X-T30 does NOT come with the older external charger that the older cameras had included, it does have an ac adapter and cable that you plug into the camera to charge the battery.

WOW! I stand corrected BIG TIME! jerryy is absolutely right, and I apologize for the errant information. I will be more careful of any future assumptions. Furthermore, I checked the supplied accessories of a few other cameras, and the X-T30, X-T3, and X-PRO3 are all different in their charging accessories.

You didn't mention which lenses you use, so bergat is correct about setting the aperture on the lens, if you use XF lenses. For XC lenses (no aperture ring), you set the aperture with the front command dial, so to set an XC lens to auto, turn the command dial beyond the smallest aperture, and you will see the readout change color and display your wide-open aperture value. Your readout will also then display "A" in the lower left of your information display. Voila! Automatic Mode.

Keep in mind that when you charge the battery through the camera's USB port, that current is passing through the main board, so if there was indeed a source power mixup (or failure) as JBrew mentions, there is some some danger to the camera. For an abundance of caution, I always remove the batteries for charging. I'm just a big fan of risk mitigation. The visual of plugging my Fujifilm into a 12v cigarette lighter adapter is, well, just downright something I'd rather avoid. I have both the original Fujifilm charger and an aftermarket set of charger/batteries. The batteries all perform equally, but I find the Fujifilm charger charges about three times faster. This is about an hour-and-a-half for the Fujifilm to charge one battery, and about five hours for the aftermarket charger, although it charges two batteries at once. These times are all with stone dead batteries. And these batteries hold a full charge for a very long time, so I tend to charge all three batteries at my convenience, so I can leave all the chargers home when I go out to shoot.

Sure. The x-t2 works in automatic mode too. You have to select the shutter speed in auto and chose also the aperture of the diaphragm in automatic mode on the lens

I use the FUJI charger that I've had for a while when charging the battery outside the camera. But a lot of the time I charge my Fujis through the USB-C or micro USB port (depending on the camera) from whatever adapter I have plugged in. I don't think that you can damage it with the standard 2.4A devices. Chris

He possibly phrased that part quickly to get on to the next part of the review ... it is a trade-off, if you want to use your very fast lens wide open for those shallow depth of field photos while being out doors at certain times of the day, you have to make some compromises, lower the ISO, or put on a stack of nd filters, or raise the shutter speed, or ..., all while hoping for the best. It used to be one could find a lot of grumbling about not having low native ISOs along with high shutter speeds for that very reason.

I know the film simulations are available in Lightroom since mid-2017. I do not know about the advanced filters, however. I am not a Lightroom user; perhaps a Fujifilm/Lightroom user here on the forum can stop in here for a comment.
