Hi everyone. I'm a new proud owner of a Fuji Xt4 but I'm having some issues and I would like to get your help to understand if I'm paranoid or I have to replace my camera since I can still do it. Here my main issues :

1. Since the unboxing and even after upgrading both body and lens firmware I noticed that my camera start to gets warm after few minutes navigating in the menus or taking few photos. After 5 minutes the camera start to get warm on the bottom left side (opposite side of the battery) and on the LCD screen area.  I also tried to stress the camera with 4k 60fps video and after 10 minutes the camera gets really warm. Fuji says that this is normal as the body is designed to dissipate in this way. However, some Xt4 users I asked seem don't have same issue in photo or menu scrolling mode saying it never happened to them in photo mode. I appreciate it can be subjective feeling but I really don't get if it is normal or not. 

2. I was setting my camera last night  when I started notice a fan like noise coming from the body. It is very clear if you put your hears over the body. I thought it was the Ibis and I disabled it but nothing changes. I also have the 35mm f2 on which is not stabilized. 

Both issues scare me because I would like to use this camera also for the video capability. Did you experience anything like that? Am I paranoid or it is worth to send the camera back for a replacement? 

I love the camera and the feeling it provides while shooting so I just want to be sure it is working properly. 

Thank you in advance

Kind regards 

F

Hi F, welcome to the forum. Good news first: the fanlike noise you hear is the IBIS, when disabled the system is still engaged to keep the sensor fixed on the right place. No worries about this.

The warming in photo mode should not happen, I would send the camera back to get a replacement.

Hope this helps.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
