X-T4 lockdown - freeze problem

Date: 2021 June 30 — I have two X-T4s — one about 14 months old, the second about 5 months old (with 70-300 — fantastic lens).  Yesterday I updated the firmware to 1.21.  Last evening, I took one of my X-T4s to a baseball game and for the VERY FIRST TIME EVER I experienced frequent lockdowns or freezes.  After taking a photo, the LCD would go black, the orange data transfer light would come on and stay on.  Switching the camera on and off made no difference.  The only solution was to remove and reinstall the battery.  The camera would then work properly for a few more frames and then repeat the lockdown process again.  That probably happened 6 or 8 times last night in an hour.  This morning I repeated that scenario about 5 times.  It has been suggested that the problem is related to SD cards; I had the same problem with different Lexar cards that have never failed. So it doesn't seem to be related to SD cards. Unfortunately, the defect appears intermittent; i.e., I cannot recreate the failure upon command.  I have noted on Fuji-Form that a lot of people have reported similar behavior for X-T4s, but not X-T3s.  Have you seen this problem in your X-T4?  Do you know if the problem is unique to specific cameras or to specific versions of firmware?  Do you know if Fuji is aware of the issue?  Do you know if they are working on the problem?   In a word, this is now a major pain in the butt.

I too am having the same issue since updating the new firmware for my X-T4 camera yesterday. Everything you described with your camera and having to remove the battery to shut it down after the freezes is the same issue for me as well. I first thought it was a faulty SD card but I also had it freeze on the options menu screen too when I turned the camera on.

So I just got confirmation that the update has been pulled they’re working on it now and they think it has to do with the Bluetooth pairing and viewing through the EVF then back to screen and EVF is causing the camera to lockup/ freeze 

 

temporary solution is to turn off Bluetooth and all pairings and delete your phone from any connections to the camera and see if that works for now. And as always, wait a week or two to update for any new firmware updates.

Can one get older camera firmware for X-T4 like 1.20 from Fujifilm Support page?
I was going to upgrade my X-T4 camera yesterday but found no firmware (latest 1.21) to download for reason mentioned here in this thread. Could not find the previous 1.20 either.

Just today I bought a new X-T4. The problem describes above still exists, even after the update to firmware 1.22; I reset the camera settings as much as possible; I reset my connection pairings on both the camera and the iPhone. The problem keeps existing: regular shutting down camera with no normal restart than switching the battery; no more paring with my iPhone possible.

Mine freezed even with latest (for today) firmware version which is v1.25.. couple of thise happened with previous version as well. I bought this camera with 1.21 at the end of October, but most of the crashes happed latter with newer versions.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
