The body is weather sealed, which allows you to confidently shoot in those kind of conditions. I even shot a bit with the camera in a rain storm, and got some really great material.
It’s big enough that you’re not afraid it will slip out of your hands, but still small enough to remain compact and discreet when you need it to be. The body feels just the right size for shooting without a grip or cage. When I’m shooting in F-Log mode, this means I can easily switch between the flat/log recording and a preview of what the footage will look like in Rec 709. One of the first things I did with the X-T4 was assign the small function button on the front of the camera to toggle on and off the F-Log view assist mode. You can assign custom camera settings to virtually all the physical/function buttons on the camera. These dials lock into place, so nothing gets accidentally bumped while shooting.
Everything is so easy to access, especially ISO and shutter speed as both have their own dedicated dials on the top of the camera. I love the metal controls, physical dials, and overall layout of the camera. Build Quality & Designįuji’s cameras are known for their cool retro aesthetic and great build quality, and the Fuji X-T4 definitely carries this forward. This, along with many of the other amazing built in video capabilities the X-T4 offers made it impossible to ignore.īelow I’ve broken down my thoughts on the camera so far, after nearly a month of shooting in both test and real world environments. I considered many options – from the Lumix GH5 II to the Canon EOS R5 – but in the end I circled back around to Fuji.įor me, color science is always the biggest factor when purchasing a new camera, and Fuji’s colors are among the best in the business. It had to be something that was small, easy to shoot with, and hold up next to my Alexa as a b-cam, among other criteria.
At the time, production work had slowed down a bit and I was shooting most commercial projects on my Arri Alexa Classic 4:3.īut as production work has come back full force in recent months, I needed a mirrorless camera that could serve as a jack of all trades, for both video and stills. When the X-T4 first came out I didn’t upgrade to it right away. I love using my X100T for stills and have previously owned the X-T2 and X-T3 cameras as well. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I am a huge Fuji fan. Today, I’m sharing my thoughts on the camera for other filmmakers considering it as an option. I recently picked up a Fuji X-T4 to use on a slate of upcoming filmmaking projects, and have now shot with it quite extensively.
