The X-E series of the Fuji Mirrorless series has been loved by consumers since its birth, not only because it adopts the shape of a rangefinder camera, but also because the hardware configuration of the X-E series has always remained at the front of the Fuji X series. Since Fuji released the X-E3 in 2017, this series has not been updated for three years. Today, Fuji finally officially released the fourth model of the X-E series-FUJIFILM X-E4 (X-E4 for short). X-E4 uses the top 26.1 million pixels X-Trans CMOS 4 of the current X series, with 0.02-second autofocus and 4K 30P video shooting capabilities. In addition, the newly added LCD touch screen that can be folded 180° also makes this camera usable The scope is wider. The X-E4 single body is priced at ¥5699 (around $878), and the XF27 lens kit is priced at ¥6,999 (around $1078).
The smallest and lightest body of the X series
X-E4 weighs 364g and measures 121.3mm x 72.9mm x 32.7mm. It is the fourth-generation most compact interchangeable lens camera in the X series. In order to maintain its slim and stylish design, the foldable LCD screen is also carefully designed to ensure that the body is as thin and portable as possible.
The compact design of the camera is inspired by the influence of classic film cameras. The front and rear grips are flat, giving people a classic aesthetic, while the top plate of the camera body is carefully crafted from polished magnesium alloy, which has extremely high precision and presents a beautiful classic appearance.
Various functions and easy operation
The back LCD screen can be flipped up and forward 180 degrees, which can adapt to various compositions from overhead to overhead, as well as self-portraits and V-log style videos.
The top panel includes the shutter speed dial (S.S. dial), which can be set manually or switched to program mode (P) when fully automatic functions are required. The control device is also concentrated on the front dial to provide extra thumb space and increase the comfort of holding.
Professional performance
X-E4 uses the most advanced 26.1 million X-Trans™ CMOS 4 sensor in the X series and the high-speed image processing engine X-Processor 4 to provide incredibly fast autofocus. Due to the phase detection autofocus on almost the entire sensor, Therefore, the focus can be quickly captured in 0.02 seconds. It can also use advanced autofocus tracking algorithms to track moving subjects so that images can be captured at the most appropriate time.
X-E4 also includes the latest face and eye recognition technology, which can accurately track the subject even at brightness levels as low as -7.0EV (when Fujinon XF50mmF1.0R WR lens is installed). Even in a near-dark environment, the focus of the subject can be captured, expanding the opportunity to take images.
Comprehensive video function
X-E4 samples 6K clips and records 4K/30P 4:2:0 8bit video to internal media, or records 4K/30P 4:2:2 10bit video through its HDMI port.
The camera can also provide high-speed full HD video at 240fps. Compared with images recorded at 24fps, it can be used to replay fast-moving subjects and playback in slow motion 10 times.
Various film simulations to choose from
A total of 18 film simulations are provided, including Velvia, which is characterized by high saturation colors and clear gradients, and ETERNA Bleach Bypass, which reproduces the traditional darkroom processing technology to produce unique images with low saturation and high contrast.
