  • 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.

  • Before we show you anything else don't forget to like, subscribe and hit that bell icon

  • so you can stay up to date with all our latest content.

  • 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.
