Hi,

I just received a xt-4 as a gift and unfortunately the person who gifted does not have the original receipt.. So I wasn't sure if warranty covers anything.

***Problem***

I noticed that as I was customizing the new camera, setting up options, presets, shortcuts and etc. the xt4 was getting warm/mildly hot to the touch.
I wasn't recording, I in-fact even tried turning the back display off into simple menu, so that the liveview isn't on when I'm not reviewing photos.

Camera hasn't shutdown or warn me saying its too hot but its definitely too warm considering I'm not even taking photos and was just on menus.
Seems like it takes about 10 minutes in the menu for it to start getting warm.

When I took it outside (85 degrees) for some photos, it starts to get warm around 15-20 minutes of walking around, taking photos.
I haven't shot more than 30 minutes in a row yet, but I assume it wont get any cooler?

I come from DSLRs and this is my first mirrorless, so I'm confused if this is a normal thing? or if there's something wrong with my xt4?
Could it be some options I have turned on? I originally suspected that it was bluetooth but I turned it off, and even tried turning IBIS off.
Boost mode is also not on, and the LCD/EVF brightness is on default settings.

Has this happened to any of your xt4s? And if so, are there any solutions.. I'm mortified since I don't have the original receipt anymore..

It happens to my x-t2 also; don't be much afraid. It is getting warm whether you do take fotos or not.

It is a computer, no more DSLR.

Make sure having one or two spare batteries with you any time.

Buy a set of one or two batteries together with a battery loading device.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
