Infrared Version with Extended Spectrum

With an extended photographic range from approximately 350nm to 1000nm, this camera allows for photography in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared spectrums, providing exceptional photographic versatility.

26.1MP APS-C X-Trans BSI CMOS 4 Sensor and X-Processor 4

The X-T4 is centered around a highly adaptable sensor, featuring a 26.1MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor in APS-C format. This sensor boasts a back-illuminated design that enables smooth tonal rendering, enhanced low-light performance, and a broad native sensitivity range of ISO 160-12800.

As an X-Trans sensor, it employs a randomized pixel array, which contributes to superior image quality and sharpness by eliminating the need for an optical low-pass filter. Compared to traditional pixel arrangements, the X-Trans configuration more accurately replicates the organic characteristics of film, resulting in subtle colors and tonal transitions while minimizing moir and aliasing.

Additionally, the sensor’s design incorporates an advanced phase-detection autofocus system with 425 selectable points that nearly cover the entire sensor area. This autofocus system provides quicker and more precise focusing performance across various lighting conditions, down to -6 EV. To enhance imaging and focusing capabilities, the camera is also equipped with an updated X-Processor 4, featuring a quad-core CPU that ensures faster and more responsive performance throughout the camera system. This includes a full-resolution shooting rate of 15 fps with the mechanical shutter, 20 fps with the electronic shutter, and a 30 fps rate with the electronic shutter and a 1.25x crop.

In-Body Image Stabilization

The integrated 5-axis sensor-shift image stabilization significantly reduces the visibility of camera shake by as much as 6.5 stops. This mechanism operates effectively with the majority of X Series lenses, even those without stabilization features, and is advantageous for capturing images at slower shutter speeds and in challenging lighting situations. Furthermore, 4-axis digital image stabilization can be employed during video recording to enhance the stability of footage, particularly when shooting without a tripod.

UHD and DCI 4K Video Recording

Expanding its functionality beyond still images, the X-T4 presents a diverse range of video features, such as internal DCI/UHD 4K recording at a maximum of 60 fps and Full HD recording at up to 240 fps for ultra slow-motion playback. The overall video performance is significantly enhanced by the speed of the X-Processor 4, which facilitates rapid read speeds during video recording and minimizes rolling shutter distortion when capturing moving subjects. Additionally, a micro-HDMI port allows for 10-bit 4:2:2 recording to an optional external recorder.

Moreover, in addition to supporting a 10-bit color depth, the X-T4 is equipped with the F-Log gamma setting, which delivers a flat image suitable for advanced color grading software during post-production. This feature optimizes the potential dynamic range in challenging scenes, and adjustments can also be made to emphasize tone, shadow tone, color, and sharpness.

Furthermore, the camera is equipped with a 3.5mm microphone jack and a 2.5mm remote port, along with an included headphone adapter, providing options for more sophisticated audio solutions.
