Got my new X-T4 this week. It's generally working great, however if the 'Clarity' setting is set to anything other than '0' then images take a lot longer to record to the SD card. Also the frame rate in the EVF drops off quite a bit. I'm guessing using clarity is quite processor intensive.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Yes, as far as I know it's better to have the camera switched on to lock the sensor in place. I've been using this method since I bought an X-T4 a few years ago with no problems. It seems to be the recommended practice. If you do a search on YouTube you'll find some more in-depth videos on the subject.

Hi there, I always follow this procedure:
1. Turn the Camera on (and leave it on while cleaning).
2. Set IS mode to Off so the sensor remains locked in position.
3. Switch the shutter to ES - this prevents accidently closing the normal mechanical shutter while cleaning.
4. Turn "Shoot without Lens" to Off - this prevent the shutter from working with the lens removed
5. Turn Power Saving Mode to Off.
Once cleaning is done you can reverse all of these settings as required.

Thanks for the replies!
yes, i was using the clarity setting (at +1) and setting it to 0 did fix the storing screen.
What still bugs me tho, is that when using other shooting modes even with clarity there is no delay. But that means its definetly a Firmware issue that is hopefully resolved soon.
 
im using a 128 GB Lexar 1667x sd card. its plenty fast and i have not encountered storage issues anywhere else so far.

Hi, I've mentioned this in another thread but are you using the Clarity setting at all? Setting it to anything other than '0' results in the 'Storing' issue. Not sure why this is but hopefully it's something that can be fixed in a firmware update.

It is clear. I observed the same. This should be informed by Fujifilm. And if it is something solvable through a firmware update, they should solve it quickly, together with the problem of custom setting names not appearing on the Q menu. Why do we want a name for each custom setting if then we cannot read them in the Q menu? This was working fine in the X-T3.

My thanks too…
I got my X-T4 yesterday and began setting up the camera experiencing the same "storing" problem. I had set the clarity set to +1. After reading this thread I dropped back to 0 and the storing lag disappeared.
Thanks again.

I thought that shooting exclusively in raw is not influenced by the 'Clarity" setting.
But it is, my 'Clarity' was set to '1', I reset it to 0 now.
Thanks a lot strat68, this solved my issue.
Great help.

I had the same problem initially. I solved it by using a piece of cotton thread looped through the attachment cord. I fed it through the eyelet then pulled the cord through.
