it is important to note that while many of the modern fuji cameras have the ability to add color shift to the white balance, very few allow you to store that red/blue value as part of your custom simulation setting. this was fixed in a firmware update on a few models (x100v, x-pro3 and x-t4) but is still missing from many models, such as the x-e3. since many custom recipes rely on white balance shift, it can be frustrating if your camera model doesn't have the ability to save those values for each custom sim.
My advise is to create shortcut with one of the fn buttons that takes you to the WB settings so you can quickly change them on the fly when switching simulation modes
What a wonderful video, thank you! The fact that you put in the time to help others is above and beyond. You provide such a good base to start from because a lot of the settings are tricky to understand when you first get a Fuji (and most other camera brands for that matter). I'll definitely be subscribing.
skimming over them I see no comments on color space, so very quickly: sRGB is used in monitors and can show less colors due to its smaller size compared to AdobeRGB. So basically, if you only shoot your photos for screens like Instagram, keep it on sRGB, if you print a lot, do AdobeRGB. I always keep it on Adobe, since with very slight changes in color I can always convert it to sRGB or CMYK very well, but not the other way round most of the time
Great Video ! Regarding Clarity, my workaround is as follows: I save my recipe with clarity. When I am doing streetphotography I switch to the CL burst-mode which is set to 5fps. This will disable clarity and I am not in a risk, missing a great shot. If I am not in a hurry and can take my time for composition (architecture, museum etc.) is switch back to single-shot mode and clarity will be applied.
I'm new to Fujifilm and I'm still getting confused and lost with a lot of these settings, so if anyone is able to answer I would greatly appreciate it 🙏 Once you've messed about with the Image Quality (I.Q.) settings, how do you reset that back to its default?
Thank you, this is such a great video, so clear , the best I've found on UA-cam to understand my Fujifilm xs10 settings. I have a question, some settings as the dynamic range are locked, I can't activate it. I don't understand why. I've tried to change the iso, but it doesn't change anything. What would be the solution ?
For white balance, I like to set it to 5500k and leave it there for the slide film look. Slide film has no white balance unless you bring a warming or tungsten filter. I shoot with raw + jpeg because storage is cheap, and only keep the keeper raws I might want to edit one day, plus you can then reprocess in camera and change white balance afterwards if it was messed up
Very very excellent video. Owning x100v here. Something to save and watch several times. Thank you so much. Please keep posting such good content. Cheers from Paris.
One of my Favorite channels. And now that I found a new Graphite X-pro2, I find myself rewatching all these videos and especially the Film recipe videos. Thanks for doing what you do 😃
Great video! This must have taken a long time to research and create, but it's been worth it. Really useful information here for creating film recipes. Thank you! (p.s. You used the X-T4 to demonstrate, but I'm curious, which camera is in the thumbnail?)
This is an excellent video! Very clear and helpful. I'm a noob and just got my first camera. Any idea why many of the image quality settings are grayed out on my X-S10? I've tried everything.
I don’t own the camera but below are a couple of guesses Is it the mode dial set to auto? Raw only reducing settings? On some camera the burst mode stops some settings
I’ve come to realise that you are one of the best camera reviewers on UA-cam. I hope more people find you. You deserve to have tens of thousands of subs. Keep up with the great work my friend!
Excellent video and was certainly informative. A negative note was the metronome effect throughout the music which I hope you might reconsider on future videos. Thank you for a thorough job of walking through the settings.
Great video, thank you. One small correction: Compressed RAWs have the exact same quality as uncompressed RAWs, as the compression is lossless. Compressed RAWs will take a bit longer to process in LR as the computer needs to unpack them, but other than that, they are exactly the same as uncompressed.
Great video! I recently purchased my first Fujifilm camera (after decades of Canons) and your explanations were very helpful to adjust my jpg settings. I use my custom profiles mainly to compensate for the individual characteristics of the lenses I use. The 27mm pancake for example delivers way flatter images than the fast primes (and I use it a lot for street and travel), so I created my own custom setting to get everything back in line.
AF/MF setting, you then need to half press the shutter, that’ll autofocus, and with the button still half pressed if you turn the focus ring it’ll manual focus
Great info … ta very much! I’m just getting to know my new X100V and this really helps! Haven’t tried any recipes yet but they’ll make way more sense when I do.
Watching this in 2024 as a x100vi owner and this video is so valuable! Thanks for putting this together!
Great video ever for Fuji user. Million thank to you. 👏
This is one of the most useful videos I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you for this practical guide to the settings!
This is such a fantastic breakdown, thank you for making it! Exactly the combination of descriptions & examples that I was looking for.

@@leestanford2452 outstanding tip Tkx a lot

The XH1 dont have this unfortunately
Oh god i thought why is my cam not saving my custom wb😅 So the XE2 don‘t have it but as far as i remember my x20 saves the wb in the custom modes :)
Such a quick tutorial/ explanation on all the major items of the menu. This will help me heaps!! Thank you so much! 😁
I have always wanted to do these tests but have been too lazy. Now I don’t have to🙏🏻
It took some will power! 😂
Keep in mind, if you’re trying to emulate film, film has a fixed white balance. Usually daylight.
This is so, so, so helpful!!!!! you are amazing and thanks for taking so much time for doing this video ❤️
I'm about to buy a x100v and I really appreciate your approach, showing your settings w/ image samples. That's so much easier. Thank you!
Hugely helpful video-thank you for taking the time to work through these settings and give such clear explanations of their impact.

Glad I was able to help!
This is an amazing and super useful video. I'm surprised people haven't made more of these.. I guess it takes a lot of prep..
Thanks you. It is greatly clear.

Really enjoying these videos to get more out of my Fuji!

Once you've messed about with the Image Quality (I.Q.) settings, how do you reset that back to its default?
So what I do is have custom slot 1 set up with everything as default, and then slots 2-6 set up as recipes
That's actually a really good idea - thanks for replying to an old video @@Goughie 🙌

Nikon D5000 does not have very high dynamic range but it does not blow out the highlights. Even God does not know why
Very, very helpful. Thanks so much.
Excellent video, also timely for my recent X-T4 acquisition for my hubby photography.Subscribed !
So, does the sharpness, color, tone curve, etc. only affect the jpeg in the camera file or does it also affect the raw?
Only the JPEG! I think it’s thought that the DR setting might effect the RAW a little
Got it, thanks

Thank you for the lovely feedback! Maybe once this has all blown over a trip to Paris would make great content!

knowledge bomb! amazing video
Really helpful video, and exactly what I was looking for this morning. Thanks.
A great introduction to the Fuji jpeg settings, thanks.
So helpful
Great video dude! Thanks for all the effort you've put in to help the community 😁
great but I bet you regret using a white background as it drowned out the fine changes between the settings a lot
Which camera would you recommend for a partially colorblind person like me
great job dude! I just got my x100v and learning through this video :D
Very, very helpful, thank you so much!
Brill video, Goughie. Criminally underrated channel. Keep it up, mate 👍
Ahah! Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying!
What are you cooking Jesse?
Yeaaaaaah science! 😏
Finally a great detailed breakdown and examples. Right On!
Thanks. That was a very helpful video!
I’ve come to realise that you are one of the best camera reviewers on UA-cam. I hope more people find you. You deserve to have tens of thousands of subs. Keep up with the great work my friend!
This video should be linked on fujis website. Thank you!
Such a practical and informative video thanks!
Thank you for the very informative video, good stuff.
Lot of effort to make this one. Helped a lot for me to understand the settings in depth. Thanks!
So much work! Subscribed. Thanks man.
This is one of those videos that is worth a subscription by itself. Excellent work.
Insane work. Thank you much for it.
I set the IQ to 40M image size, but when I see the images on my computer they are 18-20M...What the hell? I want 40M size images.
Are you using a XH2 or XT5? 40MP is megapixel, whereas are you describing that the file size is 18-20MB? If so then you are getting 40MP pixels
Thanks a lot for this video Goughie!
Great stuff. Awesome reference.
Amazing video, deserve more views !
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!
SO HELPFUL!!! Thanks
Wait, you wish you were a raging alcoholic, or sponsored by Brew Dog, which is it? 😏
They come hand in hand surely 😏
Amazing video again, keep goingggg !
Thank you! 💪🏻
can you do a similar video about the flash settings :-P
It is planned! But I’m stuggling to find someone willing to sit still long enough to explain it all, maybe I’ll use the dog 😂
What a lot of effort ! Thank you !
Now I understand
Excellent tuition. Thank you! Please could you make a recommendation on you personal settings for general work? Thanks!
Excellent video and was certainly informative. A negative note was the metronome effect throughout the music which I hope you might
reconsider on future videos. Thank you for a thorough job of walking through the settings.
Well done! Thank you.
Good job !!! Good job !!!

17:50 - here I am basically constantly shooting at 12800 :')
Awesome 😎
Great idea for a video but that photo of cans wasn't the best idea
What would you suggest? I like it from the perspective of having a lot of various colours and clean light/shadow
Great work !
🙏

halo sir...
You’re a saint for making this video!
why is my camera have different settings?
This video is a lifesaver! Thank you so much!!

Good spot
Hi , how to use manual focus in Auto mode ? cause I get only zoom with focus ring , thanks
AF/MF setting, you then need to half press the shutter, that’ll autofocus, and with the button still half pressed if you turn the focus ring it’ll manual focus
Wow.. thank you lol
Hey, that WB shift you mentioned, does it work along with Auto WB after I set it, or does it only work with manual WB/ preset WB modes?
It works with auto! That’s typically what I do! I think however it’s only the newer cameras
@@Goughie Oh okay. One more thing, can you do some of these test for video. Like the DR, color chrome and especialy noise reduction ?
!!!
Great info … ta very much! I’m just getting to know my new X100V and this really helps! Haven’t tried any recipes yet but they’ll make way more sense when I do.
This is a sooooo great video! Helped me a lot. Thank you!
Nice idea, but you seem to think, seeing a pic for about 0,5s is enough to distinct it from the next one. Too bad. Sit down, F.
Try hitting pause 😂 or the video would be about 2 hours long
Great video brother. Very informative
Glad you liked it
