Hi there, thanks for this discussion everyone. I've learnt a lot here! I thought I found the ultimate solution for Vlogging, interviews, Web meetings, 4K Video and recreational photography, I may have been wrong with the X-S10...? I already planned to buy a ATEM Blackmagic Live Pro, to steam and use the webcam function linking from the controller's USB. From the discussion it seems like that would be my only option if I was wishing to use the X-S10 as a live camera with its in-built features. I'm now very torn between the X-S10, A600 and A6400. Any other cameras people would recommend for a similar price and use case, ideally without having to use a video controller? I've used a friend's Fujifilm and I would like to join the tribe, but I'm concerned about having to always lug around the ATEM controller and HDMI cable if I want to stream or go live. Any thoughts or ideas here would be appreciated, thank you!

I must admit I had never noticed this before - looks like it happens on all X cameras - don't think there is any way to prevent it

Seems like your question is more about using the camera as a webcam than about vlogging. There's a big discussion about this very subject in this very forum; one person even discusses that switcher. I found that the simplest solution was to bypass the buggy Fujifilm webcam software and just buy around $20 worth of cables:

i think you could use a cheap capture card and a micro hdmi to hdmi cable to use fujifilm xt-30 and xs-10 as a webcam. i recently saw from omar gonzales video !. well at least until , fujifilm releases a firmware which allow proper use as a webcam like other fujifilm camera's. USB CAPTURE CARD MICRO HDMI TO HDMI CABLE watch his video if you don't know how to do it . if you know , i hope the links helps . have a nice day !

Thank you for the response and explanation, really appreciate it. Here's hoping the next firmware update addresses this issue. One positive: I think power is still being delivered while I'm Livestreaming, the battery doesn't seem to discharge while plugged in and in use. It just doesn't charge when the camera is switched off. Hope that makes sense. Again, thank you for taking the time to reply. Cheers!
