INTRODUCING NA-XT4
FUJIFILM X-T4
The Fujifilm X-T4 features an APS-C CMOS 4 X-Trans 26.1MP Sensor. The X-T4 is powered by a proven X Processor 4 which provides fast performance and improved responsiveness. Newly added in-body stabilization delivers up to a 6.5EV benefit which is a significant addition for video shooters. The improved autofocus tracking system now considers color and shape as well as distance information, providing a noticeable improvement over the X-T3.
Oversampled DCI or UHD 4K (using full sensor width) is possible at 30p whereas 60p can be recorded with a minor 1.18x crop. The 60p footage can be captured as 10 bit 4:2:0 H.265 at 200 Mbps and recorded internally. This increases to 4:2:2 when output over HDMI. The X-T4 also features F-Log capture to maximize dynamic range, protecting highlights and shadows for editing. New to the X-T4 is F-Log View Assist which applies a gamma correction to the EVF and LCD, helping to visualize the end result. Zebra warnings and focus peaking overlays as well as magnification during shooting are all features that video shooters will appreciate. Multiple custom white balance slots along with presets are easily accessible.

THE NAUTICAM NA-XT4 UNDERWATER HOUSING
Nauticam has supported X-T1, X-T2, XH-1 and XT-3 cameras and continues to create innovative and ultra-functional housings for this line with the NA-XT4. More than just an updated badge, the NA-XT4 is redesigned and considerably smaller than its NA-XT3 predecessor. The NA-XT4 features DSLR-style housing and port lock mechanisms as well as integrated ergonomic handles. The housing is designed with our Mission Control concept of placing the most important camera controls as close to the handles as possible to facilitate effortless and quick camera operation to ensure you don't miss the shot.
The NA-XT4 features thumb levers near both handles, with the left thumb lever actuating the playback function and the right thumb lever the AF-ON control. The housing includes two M14 and one M24 bulkhead openings to accommodate a variety of accessories.
The NA-XT4 uses the N100 Port System shared with the Fujifilm XH1 and XT3 system. A selection of port options are available for a variety of lenses.
VIDEO RECORDING FEATURES
The impressive video specs of the X-T4 prompted the addition of some video-centric features to the NA-XT4. The base of the housing can accept Nauticam's Mounting Ball Set for Tripod (PN 25218).
As the X-T4 can output DCI/UHD 4K at 60p with 4:2:2 quality over HDMI, a new M24 bulkhead has been incorporated into the housing to support an HDMI 2.0 connection to the Nauticam Atomos Ninja V housing (HDMI 2.0) for Atomos Ninja V 5” 4Kp60 4:4:2 10-bit Recorder/Monitor/Player (17922). An M24 Adaptor for HDMI 2.0 Cable (25086) is required when using the Nauticam Ninja V housing.
FLASH TRIGGERING
Reliable automatic flash exposure is available with the NA-XT4 and a variety of optically fired flashes, precisely reproducing the Fujifilm EF-X8 flash at a proportionally greater intensity. This system yields accurate automatic TTL flash performance – even in manual exposure mode – with no electrical sync cables to flood!
The NA-XT4 is also compatible with the Nauticam Mini Flash Trigger for Panasonic/Fujifilm (PN 26305). The Flash Trigger allows for rapid fire manual flash firing via fiber optic, with no camera battery drain.
The NA-XT4 comes fiber optic ready and accepts standard Sea & Sea style bushing connections. Nauticam Universal fiber optic cable system (PN 26216) for Inon, Sea&Sea strobes, provide exceptional light transmission for accurate TTL performance.
INTEGRATED VACUUM CHECK AND LEAK DETECTION SYSTEM
The Nauticam vacuum check and leak detection system is pre-installed in the NA-XT4 as standard equipment. Combined with an optional M14 Vacuum Valve II (PN 25624), this monitoring system provides constant updates throughout the dive as to watertight integrity of the housing via a multi-color LED on the rear of the housing.
