$Fuji XT4 Cinematic Low Light Footage with Fuji XF50mm F2 Welcome to this low light cinematic video footage example of city lights shot from an airplane flying over at night. This was all shot on the Fuji XT4 camera using the Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR prime lens only. #fujifilm #lowlight #fujixt4 While filming from an airplane can offer a unique and breathtaking view of nocturnal cityscapes, it doesnt mean its easy. Shooting through the airplane window is unavoidable, and the resulting video footage is fairly rough due to reflections, diffraction, and distortions. The Fujifilm X-T4 camera does pretty well in this less than idea cinematic filming condition. However, the rough quality of the footage does give it a vibe. The Fujinon XF 50mm F2 R WR prime lens is also ideal for low light situations in video, with its pretty wide aperture. It also has a decently shallow depth of field and satisfying bokeh. To capture the best footage possible, I shot this in manual mode with the Fuji XF 50mm f2 wide open. I still had to push the ISO as high as 6400 to pull any detail from the black abyss below. IBIS and Digital Image stabilisation were both engaged, as well as the fixed movie magnification crop (x1.39 I think). The Fujifilm X-T4 is no slouch when it comes to video, with features like 4K video recording at 60fps, slow-motion recording up to 240fps, and a nice big electronic viewfinder. It also allows for manual control over video settings like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, as well as image stabilization and (decent-ish) autofocus (when it wants to cooperate). One cool feature for me is the ability to use Fujifilms famous film simulations while shooting video. This capability provides a range of distinct color and contrast profiles that emulate classic Fuji film stocks. The fact that these are not limited to photos but can also be applied to 10-bit video is huge! This allows Fuji users to achieve a defined look in their footage already baked-in, without needing extensive post-processing. In conclusion, while filming low light cinematic video footage of city lights from an airplane at night can be challenging, with the right equipment and techniques, it is possible to capture stunning footage. Keep in mind the necessary compromises, such as shooting through the airplane window, and adjust your settings accordingly to make the most out of your footage.
