My custom Film Simulation Recipe here:
Astia/Soft
Grain Effect: Weak/small
Colour Chome FX: Weak
Colour Chrome FX Blue: Weak
White Balance: 6200k, +2 Red, -4 Blue Dynamic Range: 400
Curve: Highlights -1, Shadows -2
Colour: +4
Sharpness: 0
Noise Reduction:
Clarity: O
Exposure Comp: +1/3 or 2/3
Film Simulations on are huge reason people want to pick up a Fujifilm camera, being able to shoot digital and achieve “that film look” with almost ZERO effort is a lot fun. After almost a year of owning my Fujifilm X100v I have dialled in a few go to settings to create my own jpeg style. This is my perfect Fujifilm film simulation recipe.

Something I did forget to include in this video was the exposure comp. I always have it on at least +1/3 and sometimes even a full +1 for brighter more pastel type images. If you use the recipe please tag me and show me what you've managed to create! Thanks everyone.

@_ErickRangel Жыл бұрын

When I use any type of recipe on my x100v it usually slows down my camera and takes a while to store images. Is there a way to fix this or is this just a draw back of shooting recipes?

@MikeChudley Жыл бұрын

@@_ErickRangel its it because of the clarity adjustment?

@_ErickRangel Жыл бұрын

@@MikeChudley I believe so. Which kind of sucks because for any recipe I use the clarity has to be at 0. Is this something you’ve encountered?

@michaelmcgee5454 Жыл бұрын

Excellent video with a great explanation of the reasoning behind your IQ settings. I do much the same all though I do switch back and forth between Classic Chrome and Astia. My X100V is also usually set at ISO 640 and DR400.I set Highlights and Shadows to a slight negative value too. Your approach is the best bet for pushing the dynamic range towards how film rolls off the highlights. Exposing at +1/3 to +2/3 is also how I push the colors towards the pastel. Your street scenes are very nostalgic and nice!

@scottparis6355 Жыл бұрын

Interesting. I pretty much always use -1/3 or -2/3 on my Fujis, to protect the highlights. Maybe your curve and DR setting make that unecessary.

I REALLY wish Fuji would let us change the colors of the shadows. Like if you could have that warm white balance but have the shadows gain a colder color, i think that would look so nice. Basically I wish Fuji would let us set a different white balance for shadows (for jpegs).

@AngusTakesPhotos Жыл бұрын

Best way round it I found, get the Fuji X Weekly app, and favourite the simulations you like. Assuming you go out with your phone, you can rather easily swap them out, especially if you keep for example C1 for a warm tone one, C2 for night etc. Lots of the recipes have the same basics, and it means you can set one up in about a minute, which I do while stopped for a coffee or something. Probably takes about the same time as reloading a new roll of film! App costs something like £17 for the year, but I've found it worth it!

Nice summary of impressive settings...However, I'm a bit confused. You mention setting the Kelvin to 6,200 for a warmer setting. When in fact 6,200 is actually a 'cool' setting and it appears you get the warmth from subtracting the blue in your white balance settings. Seems another recipe could include warmer kelvin setting of maybe 3,000 which would require less subtraction of blue in white balance.

@mitchOrr1 Жыл бұрын

This is THE aesthetic I need. It encapsulates so much of Portra film. No distracting highlights or shadows, just a beautifully exposed scene. I currently shoot an XT20 though. Do you think the colour chrome effect has any bearing on the final tonality? Not an option on this body unfortunately.

@schtickshift4150 Жыл бұрын

I just noticed that you said in the video that the dynamic range of 400 flattens the image a bit which is correct and that to add back some more contrast you input negative values into the highlight and shadow tone curve. Actually that reduces contrast further. If you try adding positive values to both to get an S shaped curve, you will be adding more contrast. But aside from that small detail, I am definitely going to use your settings and take your advice on exposure for street. Thanks so much for sharing.

@MikeChudley Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and I’m glad you liked the video! Those curve adjustments do further flatten the image - which is on purpose. But of course switch up and change whatever you want. It’s all preference. Thanks again!

Hey Mike! Just picked up an X100VI a few weeks ago, and have been loving your Astia film simulation! Just watched a video comparison from Benj Haisch where he brings up that the images are about 500-700 Kelvin warmer on the VI vs the V (all things being equal)!! That being said, I’m wondering if you have an “updated” film recipe for the VI? I’m guessing you would adjust the recipe *up* by about 600 Kelvin on the newer model? Curious to know your thoughts! TYIA!
