Fujifilm X-T4 – Silver with XF16-80mm Lens

The Fujifilm X-T4 – Silver with XF16-80mm Lens delivers the highest performance in both stills and video. Utilizing a proven and well-regarded APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor, the X-T4 is capable of high-resolution recording. Featuring a new re-designed shutter unit the X-T4 has been developed to be fast, durable and quiet. With the fastest ever autofocus performance in an X Series camera, thanks to a new AF algorithm, users can now capture decisive moments that they may have missed before.

Thanks to the versatile back-illuminated APS-C-format 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor combined with FUJIFILM’s colour reproduction technology the X-T4 offers smooth tonal rendering, improved low-light performance, and a wide native sensitivity range of ISO 160-12800. This X-Trans sensor utilizes a randomized pixel array providing optimal image quality and sharpness due to the omission of an optical low-pass filter. Versus conventional pixel patterns, the resulting imagery closely mimics the organic nature of film in order to produce nuanced colours and tonal transitions, while also reducing moiré and aliasing.

An updated X-Processor 4 with a quad-core CPU delivers faster, more responsive performance throughout the camera system, including a full-resolution 15 fps shooting rate with the mechanical shutter, 20 fps rate with an electronic shutter, or a 30 fps rate with an electronic shutter and a 1.25x crop.

The X-T4 is also the first model in the X-T Series to feature in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), dramatically boosting the potential of the camera for stills and video shooting. The stand-alone video mode is now activated with a simple switch, and the use of digital image stabilisation in the video mode provides unparalleled shooting smoothness. This allows users to immerse themselves in video production.

Combined with FUJIFILM’s colour reproduction technology nurtured over 85 years of R&D for photographic films, the X-T4 delivers a wide variety of options to recreate a scene exactly as it is remembered. 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.

Industry Leading Film Simulation Modes

The X-T4 features a new Film Simulation mode “ETERNA Bleach Bypass” which simulates “bleach bypass” a traditional processing technique for silver halide films. This combines images with low saturation and high contrast that create a unique shot.

As expected from an X-T series camera the X-T4 takes advantage of FUJIFILM’s vast history in traditional film-based photography integrating several other Film Simulation modes, mimicking the look and feel of some of FUJIFILM’s classic film types:

• Provia: The standard contrast and normal saturation colour transparency film
• Velvia: High contrast, high colour saturation, and vivid colour transparency film
• Astia: Subdued contrast and colour saturation with a look that is ideal for portraits
• Classic Chrome: Delivers muted tones and deep colour reproduction, similar to a dated slide film
• Classic Neg: Muted contrast but vibrant colours with a vintage film feel
• PRO Neg – Available with both Hi and Std. contrast options: this mimics the punchy-but-natural feeling of their professional-grade colour negative film
• Eterna: For a cinematic look, this provides a flat colour, low saturation look well-suited to post-production colour grading
• Eterna Bleach Bypass: Refines the standard Eterna look with a higher key, higher contrast feeling while maintaining the overall desaturated look
• Acros: Based on the popular B&W film, this monochrome mode has a distinct tonality and graininess and can be used along with Yellow, Red, and Green contrast filter effects
• B&W: Straightforward and classic black and white effect with Yellow, Red, and Green contrast filter options
• Sepia: Everyone’s favourite old-timey look mimicking the popular alternative process

In addition to simulating specific film types, a Grain Effect mode is also available to replicate the look of old film photos with an organic textured appearance. Colour Chrome and Colour Chrome Blue effects are also available to deepen the colour, tonal response, and gradation with higher saturation colours.
