Fujifilm just published the second episode of their X Lab series (you can see the first one here).
It’s again in Japanese, and google translate struggles, with cryptic translations.
Luckily also this time a fellow Japanese speaking FR-reader translated it for us (thanks!).
Luminar 4.3 has just been released.
It adds support for Fujifilm X-T4, X100V and X-T200 cameras.
It also adds new features, introduces a fake sky marketplace and improves performance overall.
You read more at the Luminar 4.3 page here and the press release can be found down below.
ePhotozine has published its full Fujifilm X-T4 review. Their conclusions:
The camera’s 26mp BSI CMOS sensor and image processing is known to produce excellent image quality, and continue to do so, with exceptional colour reproduction and dynamic range. For those looking to upgrade from an earlier X-T1, or X-T2 camera, the X-T4 offers a compelling set of features, and if you’ve ever been frustrated with battery life from your camera, then the X-T4 offers a great option for you.
The X-T4, with high-speed continuous shooting (up to 30fps), is up there with the quickest, with only the E-M1 II / III and G9 offering quicker continuous shooting (at 60fps), and in terms of video, it’s only the G9 that also offers 4K 60fps video. The switch between stills and video is a great idea, and will benefit video and stills photographers greatly.
The camera is well suited to a wide variety of photography, with good noise performance and IBIS making it better in low-light situations, great colour reproduction making it suited to portraits and other photography, and high-speed shooting further expands the camera’s appeal in particular for wildlife or sports photography.
For anyone wanting the best the X-Series has to offer, the X-T4 is it, with a great 26mp sensor, great colour reproduction, and high-quality video recording, the X-T4 has it all, including high-speed autofocus and continuous shooting. Add in-body image stabilisation, along with improved battery life, and you have the complete package.

Tony Rustlips found a new way to make good use of the Fujifilm X-T4 selfie screen.
In order to double his recording, all he needs is a cheap insulin ice pack. But be aware, it works only with the Fujifilm X-T4, as you can flip the screen out completely and then place the insulin ice pack at the back of the camera.
Oh well, maybe it’s something that will work for some of you guys, too ;).

We just reported about how the Fujifilm X-T4 firmware 1.02 improved video autofocus performance in this dedicated article (with video comparison).
Now here is part 2 of our Fujifilm X-T4 firmware 1.02 coverage, and this time we focus on IBIS.
Down below you can see three videos. All three say that IBIS has indeed been significantly improved (and confirm our early report here).
However, kushagra K noticed that in one specific scenario, IBIS seems to be worse with firmware 1.02 compared to 1.01: Boost Mode! (that’s the mode used to emulate a tripod and should not be used when panning or moving the camera)
According to kushagra K, Boost mode now gives some wavy movements in the corners, that were not there with firmware 1.01. The Issue is more visible with wide angle lenses.
Again, mostly the feedback is very positive, but the thing with the Boost Mode has to be investigated further and, if confirmed, Fujifilm better quickly works to fix it.
