You can also find the new Fujifilm BC-W235 dual battery charger in stock at BHphoto. We remind you that the X-T4 comes without external charger, hence, if you don’t want to charge your batteries through the camera body, you might consider this accessory.
Many FujiRumors readers are getting their long awaited Fujifilm X-T4 in these days. As a consequence, I also already get the first firmware suggestions and possible bug reports.

Loving the X-T4 but why the regression in the Q menu so custom simulation names aren’t shown?
the Q menu custom items can’t be renamed as it is possible on X-T3
So, even if you set the custom names, they will not appear in the display when pressing the Q button (as they do on X-T3 & Co).
Just thought i would share my findings about the IBIS in the X-T4. Fingers crossed they release a firmware update for this.

I just got my pre-ordered X-T4 several days ago. After setting it up similarly to what I had on my previous X-T3, I came up a couple of ideas for even greater customization:
Drive dial in video
Currently, the DRIVE dial only controls camera behavior in STILL mode. Why not propagate it into MOVIE mode, as well? I suggest that each DRIVE setting activate a dedicated video profile. Just a few (potentially predefined, but modifiable) example profiles:
HDR mode
Activates the F-Log video recording.
CL mode
Activates 120 fps slo-mo recording.
CH mode
Activates 240 fps slo-mo recording.
Dedicated Fn-button customization for STILL and MOVIE modes.
This could further improve the (already almost perfect) camera usability. As an example, the Fn1 button can be customized for triggering different actions, depending on currently selected recording mode:
STILL mode
Turns depth-of-field preview on and off.
MOVIE mode
Turns zebras on and off.
I’ve read several times that Fujifilm executives may follow your blog and listen to customer feedback. Maybe, there is a (albeit small) chance that these thoughts can materialize?
UPDATE: in Europe it is shipping already since April 28.
A fellow FR-reader contacted me, telling me that his Fujifilm X-T4 started shipping from a US retailer a few days ago. Yesterday he received it, and he also sent me the image of his black X-T4. He writes:
I sold a Nikon Z7 system to come back to Fuji after several years so I’m REALLY excited about this
According to all major retailers, shipping is marked as starting on May 11. But it’s clear they already have them in the warehouses, and some retailers just can’t wait to make their customers happy.
I never understood why Fujifilm sets a “shipping-embargo” on gear. If it’s there, why let it sit in the warehouse instead of shipping it to customers?
Many, really many fellow X Shooter already got his X-T4 especially here in Europe, and if you want some serious unboxing frenzy, check out or fantastic Fujifilm X-T group.
