Fan-like noise in X-T4

Could you comment on the fan-like humming noise problem in the X-T4 and, I guess, also in other IBIS Fuji cameras? I just bought a used X-T4 and noticed this noise. In a quiet room, it is audible and is recorded by the internal microphones on the film. I found user statements that this is IBIS related and normal. Even statements from Fuji support were quoted. Is indeed this noise a normal phenomenon? I cannot find a definitive answer. I haven't seen any review so far that mentions it.

Re: Fan-like noise in X-T4

From Fuji manual:


Yes, built-in microphone will record this noise - basically ans all video cameras from the past decades (tape advancing noise, focus motor noise, zoom motor noise etc.). If this is a problem for you, there are two solutions: 1. use external microphone 2. switch off IBIS.

It is the IBIS. Fujifilm IBIS has some very pronounced noise when operating for some reason.

It’s IBIS related and normal.
