Fujinon Lens Firmware Update Improves Stabilization Performance with IBIS on Fujifilm X-T4 and Fujifilm X-H1

Yesterday Fujifilm updated several Fujinon lenses that have OIS (optical image stabilization).

The only information Fujifilm gave us was “fix of minor bugs“.

According to information we have received, though, it might be a rather important firmware update for those of us, who own either a Fujifilm X-T4 or a Fujifilm X-H1, hence Fuji cameras featuring IBIS (in body image stabilization).

In fact, the new firmware improves stabilization performance of these seven OIS lenses when used with the IBIS on X-T4 and X-H1.

Fujifilm X-T4 Third Party Dual Battery Charger Available and More Batteries

 

Just yesterday we reported, how the first third party NP-W235 battery can be found in Europe.

Now a FR-reader (thanks) passed me the link to a Chinese third party battery as well as a third party dual batter charger for Fujifilm X-T4.

In USA, you find them available branded as DIGIeye NP-W235 at AmazonUS here. For the same price of a Fujifilm original battery, you’ll also get the dual charger on top of it.

We will soon be flooded with third party options, but not all of them are really good.

Independent testings showed, that some Fujifilm third party batteries can be considered almost a fraud, whereas others are close in performance and reliability to the original Fujifilm batteries (such as Wasabi Fujifilm batteries).

For your convenience, down below is a selection of battery related articles we shared in the past here on FujiRumors.

Baxxtar Pro Battery for Fujifilm X-T4 Shipping June 26

As you know, I bought the Fujifilm X-T4 and along with it also an additional original NP-W235 battery and the mandatory BC-W235 dual battery charger.

Thanks to the NP-W235, battery life on the X-T4 has been substantially improved over X-T3.

On my first hike on the Dolomites I came through the day with one battery quite comfortably. Frankly, I don’t think I will ever need more than 2 of these batteries. And probably most of the time, the second battery won’t be even used and stay in my bag just to give peace to my mind.

Hence, I am not in the market for another battery, for now, and that’s good, as those nice NP-W235 batteries aren’t exactly what I would call “affordable”.

But if I’d get a third one, it would probably be a third party battery.

I know a much used (and appreciated) third party battery among Fuji shooters are the Wasabi branded Fujifilm batteries and we already reported here, that Wasabi is working on batteries for Fujifilm X-T4.

But it seems, that the first alternative to the original NP-W235 batteries will be the Baxxtar Pro replacement batteries for Fujifilm X-T4, which can be bought single or in double pack and will start shipping on June 26.

At the moment, the batteries seem to be available only in Europe at AmazonDE here. But it’s probably just a matter of short time now, until a wide variety of third party options will hit the market.

SmallRig Fujifilm X-T4 Hand Grip and New L-Bracket Version

We already reported about the Smallrig cage for Fujifilm X-T4 in the article here.

They now offer also the X-T4 hand grip and new X-T4 L-Bracket without that wooden grip part, which many did not like. Also, the new version also does not extend, so it is cheaper than the wooden L-grip version.

Many of our Fujifilm X-T members already own it. Check out their feedback here.

Fujifilm X-T4 IBIS Stress Tests vs X-H1, Panasonic S1H, OIS only vs IBIS only and More

Andrew comprehensively tested the IBIS on the Fujifilm X-T4. It’s a 30 minutes video.

Just so you know, when below we talk about “scientific test”, it means Andrew placed the cameras on a massage gun. That way, he was able to induce the same amount of vibration to all the cameras he tested.

Down below you will find the video and the summary in a nuthsell, for those who can’t watch the full video right now.

Fujfilm X-T4 Kits Now In Stock… and Finally I made My First Dolomites Hike with my X-T4

It was a long wait, but finally also various Fujifilm X-T4 kits are now in stock.

You can get the kit with the Fujinon XF16-80mm f/4 or the kit with the XF18-55mm f/2.8-4.

Btw, after a long online teaching marathon, that kept me locked down even after the COVID-19 lockdown was lifted, recently I finally had some time to get out and hike a bit on my beloved Dolomites again, which I had not photographed since last autumn, as you can see here.

And if until now I used my X-T4 only for video (and used Final Cut Pro to edit them), I finally can open up Capture One 20 again, and edit the X-T4 RAW files.

But I wonder…

… sure, I will use my X-T4 for the next weeks, as it’s new and shiny. But will my super-small X-E3 claim back it’s top spot in my camera bag, or will I just end up buying a bigger bag? I don’t know the answer yet.

Fujifilm X-T4: About Overheating, X-T4 IBIS vs Olmypus EM-1 III, Comparison with Sony A7IV

I have been asked to keep it short. So I will. No summary, no recap, no nothing. Less is more, right? ;)

I really would like to tell you the Fujifilm X-T4 overheated after almost one hour constant video shooting under the direct early summer sun (but in his last act before shutdown, still saving the file on the SD-card), and that under similar condition the Sony A7III failed after 26 minutes…. but I must keep it short.

And how good is the IBIS of the X-T4 compared to widely acknowledge class leading Olympus E-M1 III? No words. Keep it short.

My thoughts on the image comparison between Fujifilm X-T4 and Sony A7rIV? None… keep it short ;).

So, down below is an X-T4 roundup.
