Fujifilm X-Pro3 PDF User Manual
Did you lose or misplace the instruction manual that came with your Fujifilm X-Pro3? It happens all too easily, but fortunately Fujifilm makes a soft copy available that you can browse through online, print out, or download (see the pdf file below). It is certainly good practice to carefully familiarize oneself with the many different functionalities and options that the X-Pro3 offers, and the official user manual is without doubt an authoritative and comprehensive source of respective information.
That said, the instruction booklet can be a dry read, so that a dedicated camera guide book from a professional photographer that illustrates the camera's core functions in a real life photography context can be a very helpful complement. Yes, getting one of these camera guides (see here at amazon) would involve an additional expense, but if that book helps to exploit the camera's potential to the full, the (small) additional investment may well be worth it.
Also, you might want to check out the video tutorial on the Fujifilm X-Pro3 below.
In any case, the X-Pro3 is an advanced imaging tool, whose many features merit serious attention. This mirrorless interchangeable lens camera was announced on October 23rd, 2019, which means that, as of today, the camera is 1862 days old (young?). Given that the X-Pro3 is a relatively recent model, it forms part of the current Fujifilm product line-up.

What technology is the imaging sensor in the Fujifilm X-Pro3 based on?

What is the life expectancy of the shutter in the Fujifilm X-Pro3?

It should be noted, though, that this number represents a Mean Time before Failure. The shutter might fail earlier, or it might last longer.
