Fujifilm launches mirrorless digital camera FUJIFILM X-T4

Fujifilm launches mirrorless digital camera FUJIFILM X-T4 FUJIFILM X-T4. Capturing the decisive moment to help tell that story. The ultimate mirrorless camera that satisfies the creative desire of all professionals.

26.02.2020

FUJIFILM Corporation (President: Kenji Sukeno) is proud to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM X-T4 (hereinafter X-T4 ), a flagship model of the X Series range of mirrorless digital cameras.

The X-T4 is the pinnacle of the X Series, delivering the highest performance in both stills and video. A new shutter unit has been developed to be fast, durable and quiet. Combined with the fastest ever autofocus performance in an X Series camera, thanks to the development of a new algorithm, you can now capture the decisive moment that you may have missed before. The X-T4 is also the first model in the X-T Series to feature in-body image stabilization (IBIS), dramatically boosting the potential of the camera for stills and video shooting. The standalone video mode, which is now activated with a simple switch, and the use of digital image stabilization in the video mode, provides unparalleled shooting smoothness, allowing users to immerse themselves in video production. The new Film Simulation mode, ETERNA Bleach Bypass, simulates the traditional film processing technique to create a unique world of low saturation and high contrast.

The X-T4 is an amazing imaging tool, packing with IBIS, new shutter unit and a large-capacity battery all housed into a compact and lightweight body, which is the core philosophy of all X Series . There are photographic moments that only the X-T4, the ultimate mirrorless camera, can help you capture and record.

Key features and improvements of X-T4 include: Powerful new components

The X-T4 is the first model in the X-T Series to feature an IBIS mechanism. It provides 5-axis 6.5 stop image stabilization when used with 18 out of 29 XF / XC lenses, thanks to the use of new materials for the base part, refined layout of the shutter's shock-absorbing structure and newly developed gyro sensors that boast approx. 8 times the detection accuracy of the IBIS unit in the X-H1. The mechanism assists night photography or action photography such as sports, and also helps video recording in situations prone to camera shake. The new IBIS unit uses magnetic force rather than springs, which boosts functionality while making it approx. 30% smaller and 20% lighter than X-H1's image stabilization mechanism.

The X-T4 is equipped with an ultra-fast focal plane shutter. Thanks to newly developed high-torque coreless DC motor, the shutter has the capability to shoot up to world's fastest*1 15fps in burst mode, and has advanced response performance with a shutter release lag of just 0.035 seconds. The shutter unit also boasts double the durability with 300,000 actuations and shutter noise approx. 30% quieter compared to the X-T3.

The NP-W235 battery has a large capacity that is approx. 1.5 times that of an NP-W126S battery. It lasts for approx. 500 frames per charge in the Normal mode, approx. 600 frames per charge in the Economy mode and up to approx. 1,700 frames when two additional batteries are used with the optional battery grip "VG-XT4"*2.

The X-T4 uses the back-illuminated 26.1MP X-TransTM CMOS 4 *3 sensor and a high-speed image processing engine X-Processor 4. Combined with FUJIFILM's color reproduction technology, nurtured over 85 years of R&D for photographic films, the X-T4 delivers a wide variety of options so you can recreate a scene exactly as you remember it.

Unique color reproduction technology

The X-T4 features ETERNA Bleach Bypass, a new Film Simulation mode, that uses FUJIFILM's unique technology to provide versatile color tones. The new mode simulates bleach bypass, a traditional processing technique for silver halide films, creating images with low saturation and high contrast for a special atmosphere.

Highlight and shadow tones from -2 to +4 can now be adjusted by 1/2 stops, instead of 1 stop, allowing for finer tonality.

White Balance now has White Priority and Ambience Priority options in addition to AUTO. The White Priority mode reproduces white better, while the Ambience Priority produces a warmer tone.

When RAW is selected, you can now choose the non-reversible Compressed option in addition to the reversible Lossless Compressed.

Capture everything

The X-T4 offers a world's fastest*1 15fps continuous shooting in post view and an 8fps continuous shooting in live view using the mechanical shutter and the electronic shutter enables blackout-free burst shooting of 30fps.

The eyecup now has a locking mechanism to prevent tearing or dislodgement.

The 1.62 mil dots vari-angle monitor allows for more creative and versatile shooting styles.

The LCD/EVF can be boosted in three different ways, Low Light Priority - allowing you to see the subject clearly in low light, Resolution Priority - displaying even the fine details of your subject and Frame Rate Priority - minimizing blur in the viewfinder when shooting a moving subject.

The Boost / Normal modes are now joined by the Economy mode, which saves the power to increase the battery life.

High Performance

A new algorithm and phase detection AF's processing capability has led to autofocus performance as fast as 0.02 seconds. This ensures that you capture and track a subject moving at high speed, especially when combined with the continuous shooting performance of 15fps in post view and 8fps in live view.

Tracking AF performance has also undergone serious enhancement. The tracking success rate has been doubled compared to the X-T3.

The Face / Eye AF performance has been dramatically improved. This enhanced tracking ability has made focusing and taking portraits even easier than ever before.

Professional video functions
