Fast processor and mighty sensor:

The new Fujifilm XT-4 combines an effective CMOS 4 sensor with a rapid quad-core processor. The 26.1-megapixel sensor captures precise and detailed images efficiently with the X Processor 4. To take full advantage of a powerful sensor, the XT-4 has five-axis in-body image stabilization that offers up to 6.5 stops of image stabilization. Users can stack this on the new digital four-axis digital image stabilizer for optimal shooting flexibility and photo quality.

Fujifilm’s new XT model is dressed with an updated mechanical shutter that can fire at up to 15 frames per second. The new addition has up to 300,000 actuations, or shutter count, to last long into your work

Not just for photo:

The Fujifilm XT-4 is a useful tool for motion, whether you’re shooting a travel series, a professional interview, or wedding footage. The XT-4 is able to record in professional DCI 4K/60p and in full HD at 240 frames per second for slow motion effects. The XT-4 has AF-C subject tracking in low-light conditions, on top of the ISO range of 160-12,800.

Creators have the perk of shooting video thanks to Fuji’s exceptional f-log format in 10-bit color, which produces dynamic and sharp color. To take further advantage of Fuji’s color science, users have the option of several film simulation modes that adjust color, contrast, etc. in the form of filters. The newest filter — Eterna Bleach Bypass — lends a desaturated, high-contrast option to filmmakers.

Improved design:

The XT-4 includes an updated electronic viewfinder with 3.69 million pixels at 100 frames per second for easier compositing. If users prefer another option, the new Fuji has a 1.62 million pixel vari-angle LCD screen. Creators can frame subjects or adjust shooting settings from the easily-maneuverable monitor. The high-capacity battery also received more life, now allowing for up to 600 frames per charge. All of these features are packed into a slim, stylish body.

The new Fujifilm XT-4 is available for preorder starting at at Adorama
