Focal points

There’s more to the Fujii m X T4 than just 5-axis IBIS. Here we look at a few of the other di erences

-

Dual battery charger

Fujifilm has made an additional dual battery charger (BC-W235) for the X-T4. It costs £59 and is capable of charging a pair of NP-W235 batteries at the same time. As well as revealing battery status, it displays the percentage readout of the current level on a LCD.

LCD frame rate

The frame rate of the LCD varies depending on the performanc­e mode the X-T4 is set to. In economy mode the LCD refreshes at 30fps, whereas in Normal and Boost modes it refreshes at a faster 60fps. The image below shows the screen folded in for protection.

Shutter durability

The X-T3’s shutter was rated to have a life expectancy of 150,000 cycles. This has doubled on the X-T4. This longer shutter lifespan is reassuring for profession­al sports and wedding photograph­ers who shoot high numbers of images on a daily basis.

White balance

The X-T4 features new White Priority and Ambience Priority white balance settings. As its name suggests, White Priority prioritise­s the reproducti­on of white, with Ambience Priority prioritisi­ng the ambience of the light source in any given scene.

Terminals

A headphone jack is not found on the X-T4 like it is on the X-T3. Instead you’ll need to use the supplied USB Type-C to 3.5mm cable. Other terminals include a 3.5mm microphone port, 2.5mm remote release port, HDMI (micro D) port and a USB Type-C port, with the latter supporting in-camera charging.
