I also choose H.265 (HEVC) recording because that has better compression and therefore gives me the highest quality. I personally record in MOV, because I edit on Apple devices only. The file format depends a bit on your computer. My bitrate is set to 200mbps, but more about that under Movie Compression. 24p is my preference as it gives more flexibility than it comes to slow motion (40% instead of 50%…). If you prefer 25p in Europe/Asia or 30p instead of 24p is totally up to you. I’ve always set it to 4K and depending on what I shoot and if I need slow motion or not, I set it either to 24p (23.98p) or 60p (59.94p). Movie Menu Settings on the X-T4 Movie Mode So you won’t have to switch between two different ways of controlling the camera when shooting either photo or video. These settings ensure that nothing is set statically, even if you quickly switch to photo mode to get a still shot. To be safe that no top dial setting interferes, simply set the left dial (ISO) to C, the dial in the middle (shutter speed) to T, and the right dial (exposure compensation) to C. – Another thing that I found a bit annoying in the beginning. So if you don’t want that, just scroll back one step and you’re at 8000 again without automatic. What you also need to know is that if you go beyond 8000 when raising the shutter speed, the X-T4 goes into automatic shutter speed mode. It indicates which setting you change with a wheel icon on the screen. You can also press a third time to set not to off, in case you don’t want to change any of that. So if you press the back wheel, you switch between aperture and ISO setting. This changes the way you control the camera to make it easier for video shooting.īasically what this means is that instead of using the upper- and lens dials to set your ISO, shutter speed, and aperture, you can now use the wheels at the back and the front of it.Īnd there is a really important thing to know about these wheels (which took me some time to find out): You can actually press these wheels to switch the setting you change. There you find a setting called “Movie optimized control”. After that, you open the camera menu, where you’re directly in the movie menu. The very first thing you want to do is to set the X-T4 to movie mode via the upper ring dial (stills/movie switch). Getting started shooting Video on the Fujifilm X-T4 I actually needed about 2-3 hours to learn how it works, so in this article, I try my best to save you this time. But it can be a bit confusing when you get started shooting video on the Fujifilm X-T4. You have a few more dials on top because Fuji wants to stay retro, which is actually a nice thing.
