Hello everyone its Vicki and Lizzie from the Academy team, and we're really excited to

be trying out Fujifilms brand new X-T4. so here it is. Fujifilm's latest X-T4. It

might not look to similar to the X-T3, but it is a little bigger and heavier because

of the goodies they've put inside. One of which is the sensor it's got a 26.1 megapixel

CMOS X-Trans 4 sensor which has a primary colour filter. What this means is Fuji are

able to nail those colours like they always do.

So why is it bigger and heavier? Well there are three reasons. The first of which is this

brand new battery. This guy will allow you to do 500 shots and only takes 3 hours to

charge. It's something that people have asked for a long time and Fujifilm have listened.

The second of which is this full articulated touch screen. Now this is a first for the

X-T series and is an absolute godsend when it comes to some of the new video functionality

that you get in this camera. Another first for Fujifilm X-T series cameras,

they have put in a in built image stabilisation. This is a 5 axis stabilisation how ever it

will go up to 6.1 with 18 of there compatible lenses. So pretty incredible stuff.

so Fujifilm are renowned for their film simulation modes and the latest one they've popped into

X-T4 is the Bleach Bypass option. This is a high contrast low saturation mode and would

actually work perfectly on this scenario I have in front of me, so with these colourful

rustic looking boats. I've particularly chosen this one because it's a little bit rusty and

it works well with the beach. So I am going to try this out now and see what kind of effects

that I get. Slightly to the side because he's on the wonk.

Yeah! Yeah it looks really nice. Like just a little bit of yellow and just

a little bit of pink coming through there. Yeah it's nice, I like that. I might use that

myself. The X-t4 has a brand new mechanical shutter

which is rated up to 300.000 shutter actuations, and considering it's got 15 frame per seconds

that is ace because for wildlife and sports photographers who would want that can keep

shooting till your hearts content. It's also got a lag time of 35 milli seconds so it will

capture the picture super quick. Finally it is super quiet. Have a listen.

It's so quiet. I'm just about to try about to take a picture

of Lizzie here in the reflection of the water in this little dingy. And Just instantly by

changing I can see how reactive the new focusing system is. Having used a previous X-T model

and trying this shot before, I am super, super impressed how quick it was. As always with

the X-T series you've got the lovely little joystick on the back and just as I move my

focus point around its just picking up on whether I want the reflection or whether I

want the actual dingy itself it's super quick its bang on time and it's excellent really.

Yeah buddy! So Fujifilm have improved the face and eye

detection by 34% on the X-T3 so I just want to try this on Lizzie now. And because they

have also improved the tracking of their focus by 83% I'm going to make Lizzie walk towards

me so we can see how it works taking pictures the whole time on continuous focus to see

how that tracking is working. So Lizzie come to me my dear.

Okay so that is just continually super reactive. Ahhhh ha Capturing, capturing Lizzie as she

moved towards me then per frame it was just super super reactive. It was just creating

focus exactly where I needed it ever single shot pretty much. So yeah I'm actually really

impressed with that. So I'm going to try that again but this time I'm going to get Lizzie

to walk towards me but also to turn away so I can see how reactive the eye and face auto

detection is when she turns back to camera and how quickly it reacts to it.

So Lizzie can I get you to walk towards me again please but I'm going to get you to turn

off I will tell you when, you turn to the side and we will see how reactive it is. Okay?

Okay come to me. Hey look look look I got every shot. These are amazing. Look at your

hair! You look like you are on a catwalk on that one.

I was haha. These are great Lizzie look at you.

One thing that I've always loved using on the X-T series is the ability to control your

highlights and shadows in camera for JPEGs. Well with the X-T4 they've upgraded it to

have half stop increments rather than full stops.

My turn now. Thank you. I didn't think she was actually gonna give

the camera back. Now lets talk about some of the video functionality on the Fujifilm

X-T4. Spec' wise what have we got? We've got 4K recording at 60p. Full HD recording all

the way up to 240p so you can shot your super slo mo's and also straight to the card f-log

10bit recording too. Now those are really cool but that's not what

I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is the dedicated movie and stills mode

switch they have added to the body. Now the great thing about that is when you flick into

movie mode all of your menu's including that "Q" menu is dedicated to all of you video

recording settings. Flick back into stills and you've got all of your shooting options

and things like that and for me that is probably one best things they could have added to an

X-T camera. So I'm just going to head down a little bit further to capture some footage

then of the waves breaking against the shore. So some of the other changes to the design

of the X-T4 is this flip out screen, so a complete vari-angled flip out articulated

screen. Which the X-t3 and the previous models didn't have for me this is absolutely fantastic

when it comes to recording videos. Not only does it make it a lot easier to frame your

shots if your shooting but also if you did want to do any Vlogging with the camera too

which actually the camera is pretty light weight then it flips all the way around to

see yourself. So with the microphone jack on here you now

have the option to choose between line or microphone and this just makes a lot easier

for you to set your levels if your using ever a mixer or a microphone. You also got now

the added benefit of in the box getting a USB-C to headphone adaptor. So you can also

listen to the audio that you're recording. Now although Fujifilm have said that this

camera is technically heavier than the previous ones it really wouldn't feel if you are using

it. For me actually it feels like a good weight in your hand like I say good for being able

to Vlog yourself too if the occasion should arise.

A long with the introduction of IBIS you now also have got a digital stabilisation boast

mode when it comes to recording video and this is perfect for what I'm about to do with

Vicki. Tracking a slow moving subject. I'm not calling you slow but you are going to

walk at a slow speed for me and handheld. so this is going to enable you to get that

super smooth footage. Now Fujifilm do say that if you're going to be shooting anything

ultra high-speed or massively bumpy then just stick to the IBIS don't worry about the boast

mode. But we are going to test it out and see how well it goes with Vicki. I've got

her walking on a nice steady platform and I'm going to on these pebbles so fingers crossed

it will smooth out any bumps as I'm walking along.

Okay of you go Vick's. Lovely.

Now using the Digital stabilisation boast mode I can't even say that. It does crop into

your video if you want to switch in-between the two so just using the standard IBIS and

then also the using this digital boast mode, you have a magnification option on here which

will crop your video so that you can keep all of you video clips looking synchronised

framed the same, cropped the same, everything the same in camera rather than needing to

work it out in post. Okay so now that it's decided to rain quite

heavily, Im gonna try this one more time with Vicki hopefully not slipping with out the

digital boast mode on so it's just going to be IBIS and we will do a side by side comparison

so you can see the difference. Alright Vicks, and not yet sorry okay and go for it.

It's a really good thing Fujifilm X-T4 is weather sealed but I unfortunately am not.

So I am sheltering from the rain and doing so I thought it would be a good time to talk

about the design changes to the body that they've made. So one of the things that I

mentioned before is we now have a dedicated still movie switch kinda menu option button.

This is where your metering options used to be so that's be move elsewhere. We've got

a raised AF on button so it's easier to get too. We've also got HDR added to your shooting

modes as well, and not only that but they have also added probably one of the simplest

things but also one of the most useful a lockable eye cup so there is no more flinging it off

by accident when you pop it in a bag or knock it off accidentally with your strong eye.

We've had a great time shooting with the new Fujifilm X-T4 and there are tons of features

that we haven't had time to go through such as the new white balance options and also

the battery grip. So if you want to find out any more information on those or anything

else we have gone through then head on over to Jessops.com now or pop in to your nearest

store where one of our experts will be more than happy to help, and if you are currently

a Fujifilm shooter and is with an X-T1, X-T2, X-T3 and you are interested in upgrading then

don't forget you can trade in with us too. Head over again to our website or into store

and you can find out how. Thanks for watching guys and we will see you

on the next one.
