I miss the possibility that, once a RAW is shot from the Fuji X-T4, I can apply the custom settings (C1 to C7) and create a jpg of it.

I think it would not be difficult, since it can be done from a computer using the camera processor.

It would be as simple as implementing in "RAW Conversion", under FILM SIMULATION (for example) CUSTOM SETTINGS.

FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO


I think this is what you are looking for.

This is pretty much exactly how I edit photos. I use the above linked RAW STUDIO software which interfaces with a connected camera to directly apply the custom settings from the C1-C7 banks on your camera or a recipe stored on your computer.

It's literally a GUI interface for the RAW Conversion option when hitting Q on a RAW image in your camera.
 
Question to this, slightly off topic: Doesn't connecting the camera via USB to the computer result in charging the battery? And wouldn't that (connecting on and off) harm battery life on the long run? That would be a reason for me to dislike this concept very much. But haven't done nor tried it so far.

No, there's a camera setting to control this called "USB Power/Comm"

You can set it to not charge the camera at all. I have it set to Auto.

On an infinite time scale. Sure. Cycles are cycles. However, batteries are expendables. They serve me. I don’t cater to them. I don’t give a moments thought to the batteries while using X Raw Studio, or during other camera operations. If it bothers you, you could use a dummy battery connected to mains power.

If you find RAW STUDIO to be slow (because data is being passed back and forth between the camera and the PC) try plugging the camera into a television / minotor via HDMI and do your processing direct on the camera. Same result, quicker.

I’d argue that in practice the desktop interface provided by X RAW Studio more than offsets any lag in the camera-computer communication. That it’s quicker to make adjustments using the computer, even if one must wait a blink or two to see the results. Particularly if you’re working on a group of files.

I haven’t noticed any significant lag using the Studio anyway. If one is experiencing same, I’d look first to the cables connecting peripheral to computer.

I don't use it (I'm on linux) :-)
 
I just ask for the ability to take a RAW with my X-T4 and then generate a jpg from that RAW, with a custom setting from those I have saved on the X-T4, but after taking the photo (not before taking the photo) and only with the camera, without the need for a computer etc., just with the camera.

I don't think this can be done with just a camera and no computer. Following screenshots from the XT5 manual (I know you are using the XT4, but I'd be surprised if the 4 allowed this and the 5 didn't) show that you can change various settings when converting in camera but not apply a custom setting. You can apply custom camera settings with X Raw Studio, but that requires a computer

It looks like you can get the exact same result, just not with a one-click selection of a “recipe” preset - you’ll have to select the same jpeg setting options individually. Slower, yes, but this also allows you tweak any of those settings for any particular image.

You could, of course, just shoot RAW+JPEG with whatever custom presets want and let the camera produce the custom JPEGs for you - just scrap any extra camera-produced JPEGs you don’t want and you can still work with RAWs if you want something different for some images.
