The zoom provides OIS and camera-dial aperture control. The TG-BT1 grip can connect at the documented camera version, but its T/W buttons are explicitly excluded for X-T30 II.
- Connection
- FUJIFILM TG-BT1 tripod grip
- What was checked
- Stills controls with native lens, plus the TG-BT1 zoom-button limitation documented in the lens 1.10 release notes and camera 1.20 connectivity note.
- Sources checked
The next source check for this pair is overdue. Next source check due .
Physical connection
SupportedThe XC15-45 mounts directly on X-T30 II.
- Native X mount; the TG-BT1 is a separate grip, not a lens adapter.
Aperture control
SupportedAperture is controlled from the camera with this ringless lens.
- Choose an APERTURE SETTING other than AUTO for command-dial adjustment; front dial is the default.
Stabilization
LimitedLens OIS works through IS MODE. The +MOTION option additionally changes shutter speed when motion is detected, but has no effect at fixed ISO.
- Use an IS mode other than OFF; +MOTION depends on settings, lighting and subject movement.
- SHOOTING ONLY engages at release, or on a half-press in focus mode C.
Firmware conditions
LimitedThe lens 1.10 notes list X-T30 II camera version 1.20 for TG-BT1 connectivity, but explicitly state that the grip T/W zoom buttons do not function with this camera.
- TG-BT1 connected over Bluetooth; this is the stated version-1.10 feature scope, not a claim about every future release.
Focus aids
LimitedTreat the displayed focus distance as an approximate guide; the lens manual warns it can differ from actual focus distance.
- Applies when the camera displays a distance indicator.
Not covered by the sources
- Later releases were not separately demonstrated to remove the TG-BT1 zoom-button exclusion.
- Burst autofocus performance and exact stabilization effectiveness remain unverified.

Firmware in scope: camera 1.20 (TG-BT1 connectivity note), lens 1.10 (TG-BT1 feature note), adapter not stated. “Not stated” means the documents do not give a version range. It does not mean every version works.
