The Fuji X-T4 is the predecessor for Fuji’s high-end X-T5 mirrorless camera and a powerhouse in its own right. Key features include:
26.1MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor
X-Processor Pro 4 engine with quad CPU
UHD and DCI 4K video capture
Five-axis image stabilization; fast, accurate autofocus
What’s Changed? The Fuji X-T4 features five-axis in-body image stabilization with a newly designed mechanism that gives you up to a 6.5EV benefit. An improved autofocus system considers color and shape information in addition to distance information, and this system includes the face/eye detection interface behavior previously seen in the X-Pro3. You also get a new shutter mechanism; a new Eterna Bleach Bypass film-simulation mode; streamlined tone controls; a host of imaging options borrowed from the X-Pro3; and uncompressed, lossless compression, and lossy “compressed” RAW compression options. It’s a serious improvement over the X-T3, which itself was widely praised for its image quality.
26.1MP X-Trans CMOS Sensor. The X-T4’s proven X-Trans 4 sensor boasts a back-illuminated design and a randomized pixel array that promotes high image quality throughout its normal ISO range of 160-12,800. In addition to facilitating exceptional low-light use, the X-Processor 4 Engine also supercharges operation speed. Image processing, startup time, shutter lag, and general navigation have all been greatly reduced, while maximum continuous shooting is a brisk 30 fps.
UHD and DCI 4K Video. The X-T4 isn’t just a fantastic still camera; it also has a range of video capabilities. You get internal UHD 4K60p with video recording at 4:2:0 10-bit, and you can record clean, uncompressed HDMI output with 10-bit 4:2:2 color, both at up to 400 Mb/s. You can also record DCI 4K60 and Full HD 1080p240. You can handle color in post using the F-Log Gamma or by choosing from any number of Fuji’s film simulations and grain effects.
In-Body Five-Axis Image Stabilization. The X-T4’s five-axis image-stabilization system markedly reduces the effects of camera shake on your footage so that you can easily shoot in low light. It can compensate for up to 6.5 stops of shutter speed, depending on the lens you’re using. You also get four-axis digital image stabilization that can help steady your video footage, especially when you’re recording hand-held.
Phase-Detection Autofocus System. This camera’s advanced on-sensor phase-detection autofocus system uses 425 selectable points to cover almost the entire sensor area, giving you solid speed and subject tracking in a wide range of lighting conditions. Face- and Eye-Detection autofocus maintain accurate tracking when you’re shooting portraits from the front or side, and eye-detection AF works in AF-C mode. If you’re coming from a modern-day DSLR, you’ll be happy to know the X-T4 has a dedicated joystick for intuitive AF-point selection.
Touchscreen LCD and OLED EVF. The 3.0-inch, 1.62m-dot rear touchscreen LCD features a three-way tilt mechanism for a better view. And there’s a wide 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.75x magnification that remains blackout-free even when you’re shooting up 30 fps.
Ergonomics and Build. This camera maintains much of its predecessor’s layout, including locking functions on each control knob, and a focus lever for quick autofocus-point selection. The magnesium-build body is sealed to protect against dust, moisture, and the cold. The X-T4 boasts two UHD-II compatible SD-card slots and is powered by an NP-W235 battery that gives you about 600 shots per charge.
Optional Boost. With the optional Fuji VG-XT4 Vertical Battery Grip, you can expand battery life and functionality.
