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.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Yes, maybe it is worth to do so. I will ask for a replacement.

Blue Jays are tricky to get good photos like you have, they tend to fly away as soon as the lens cap comes off 😀.

      I own the Fuji X-T1 and X-H1. I own several Fuji lenses but I tend to use 3rd party vintage manual glass which I find quite enjoyable to use. I'm testing a photo here taken from my Flickr account that showcases the Tokina 100-300mm Zoom lens with 1.4 extender.

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

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      Forgot to mention another thing. Mine does not work if I plug the USB cord into a USB hub. It only works if I plug the cord into one of the USB ports on my computer itself (an iMac). This surprises me because I think there's a hub built into the computer itself, which is how the computer has multiple USB ports in the first place. I think it was somebody here that suggested I try that -- sorry I don't remember who!

      xPro1 can't change aperture with fujinon 27mm

      On another forum someone suggested spraying some electrical contact cleaner into the wheel but the Fuji tech said that could risk frying the rest of the cameras electrical so I haven't tried that.

      Potential bug in X100VI - C mode, screen going very dark

      By sfainbraun · Posted

      I have an x100VI with 1.01 firmware - did a reset already and didnt solve issue I am about to describe. Can you all see if your camera does this: Switch to C mode, step down to f16 and then press shutter half way. Does your screen go dark? I have tried playing will all settings (have had the following so quite familiar with the menus: x100, x100f, XT-2, X-Pro 2, XT-3) , only happens in C mode. If you find this can you report to Fuji @ digitalinfo@fujifilm.com. They told me they had not seen this before and that it was normal behavior because the shutter is closing, but the shutter closes in S mode as well.
