It forces the question: how do I tell this story in a single frame versus a longer form video?\u201d<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x-t4-photography-in-motion_daniel-malikyar_02-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4190217\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x-t4-photography-in-motion_daniel-malikyar_03-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4190218\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI would highly recommend this camera to any hybrid creatives interested in photography and video\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And for him, X-T4 is the perfect tool for the job. \u201cThis is a great camera system for hybrid creatives, because it allows you to switch between high-quality photography and video in seconds using the on-camera dial,\u201d says Daniel. \u201cAlso, the battery life is strong, offering 600 frames per charge and the five-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) allows you to create smooth handheld shots that have the same look and feel of a gimbal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Daniel goes on to praise the vari-angle 1.62M-dot LCD touchscreen, which, when combined with the camera\u2019s compact size and sleek design, made it easy for him to frame a number of challenging takes on location.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col2\">\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x-t4-photography-in-motion_daniel-malikyar_04-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4190219\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/x-t4-photography-in-motion_daniel-malikyar_05-1-200x300.jpg?width=200&#038;height=300\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4190220\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to X-T4\u2019s exceptional all-round capabilities as a hybrid camera, there is also no compromise on features that are specific to stills or video.
