This is probably one of the best recipe how to videos on UA-cam, A little fast but good thing we can slow it down in the settings, i was able to download about 5 recipes already, LOVE IT.
Thank You Sir, This was an extremely helpful education. Fujifilm is great but very confusing to Newbies like me. This was really great. Keep them coming, Please.
Hi there. I'm also using X-T3 and trying to apply recipes. But, my settings seems to be missing some options like Clarity, Large option after Strong Grain & Color Chrome Effect Blue. Do you have these options in your X-T3? Thanks.
I shoot RAW+F with various custom settings, including some you referenced. I almost never use the RAW files. Switching to Fuji and weaning myself from LR has been liberating and empowering. On my X-Pro3, the back panel with classic view allows me to see (and scroll through) my recipes without looking at the screen or viewfinder.
The guy who runs the blog you mentioned you got the recipes from released his official iOS app with his recipes December 1st. Most of his latest posts at the top of his blog are about that app being released.
Great video! I’ve been shooting Fuji since 2016 (X-T2, H1, T4) and my usual workflow is RAW+JPEG, cull in PhotoMechanic, best shots to Lightroom or Lightroom CC. This is actually super quick for me. The only reason I shoot the JPEGs is that they give you better detail when checking the shot during shooting or in LR during post: RAW+JPEG shots have 2 more “clicks” of zoom while shooting on the X-T4 anyways. So I thought I’d try some recipes the other day and I couldn’t believe how it slowed my X-T4 down in the field. I remembered that the Fuji X Weekly guy said it was the Clarity, so I dialled that back to 0 and it helped, but it was still noticeably slower than with the default settings. Bottom line is for me I like my original workflow, and I want the camera to be as fast as possible while shooting. Maybe I’ll try the recipes again with X Raw Studio in post, but in the field, no thanks.
I quiet often just shoot RAW but if -2 highlights and shadows as it still applies it to the in camera preview to show me a higher dynamic range. When I shoot weddings I shoot raw+jpeg like that in CC and haven't. Noticed any performance changes at all.
My personal favorite to use is a Kodachrome variant(XT-2/ xtrans 3) with classic chrome as my base the next would be a monochrome. As for my editing lately I've been using more out of camera jpeg editing in camera (raw+fine) mostly because my computer crapped out on me (need a new power brick) as far as my image quality, it's been fantastic. Mostly day trips or getting images for family get togathers for friends. No one noticed weather or not that I did any editing at all.
I have saved 7 different recipes I found from fuji x weekly but when you color adjust your whitebalance for let say daylight r3, b3 for one simulation and then use daylight r5, b -4 for another recipe and save each one seperately on different custom slots, it seems like the camera uses the latest color adjustment - in this case daylight r5, b -4 - for the previous simulation that uses the daylight WB option. Is there a way to overcome this? I have an Xe2 with the latest firmware.
On newer models you can but if you’re firmware is all up to date I’m guessing you can’t for the xe2 sorry. I rough work around is rename the film sim to e.g. r5b4 to remind you of what WB it likes.
I shoot Sony and Panasonic and the film simulations make me so envious of you guys who shoot Fuji. The cameras look so much more fun to shoot than the bland and corporate Sony cameras but I worry about giving up low light performance and the 60MP I have with the A7RIV. If only I could make some crazy Frankenstein camera lol!
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography true! That’s way out of my price range but if I made lots of money from landscape photos, that’d be one of my top choices for cameras other than an 8 x 10 film camera.
I really liked the aspect you made about the 'feeling' you have for photography when producing a shot that is mostly complete and thus able to enjoy the moment captured a little fuller. In essence it's like sorting the post processing out before taking the shot rather than after (preprocessing hehe), but I think herein lies the important element; We take the shot and are left just absorbing the shot with no real intention of having to edit to see our finalised vision, we're basically 90% there. So we once again feel like 'photographers' and not 'retouchers'. If we spend 2 secs to taking a shot but 20mins editing, what are we feeling about ourselves? Are we photographers or editors? Photography will always be a two stage process, capturing and editing, but I think whatever aspect you finish on in that process of producing an image can leave you feeling more like that persona. So to try and sort the processing out beforehand I think is a really wise and wonderful idea. We 'finish' the entire photography process when viewing the image on the back of the camera and that can make the world of difference to how we feel about our own photography skills and 'getting it right' in camera.
I personally love the extremes. More you can do in camera the better, and heavy photoshop to a insane level or even complete cgi. But also who you are shooting for makes a big difference, if you're just doing it because you love it then anything you do is great as long as you love it. But if you are doing it for others to view than what they see from the image is more important, not how it was achieved...unless you share the story as well.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Oh yes, some work I do are layers upon layers in PS, 30mins easily. Other times its 30secs in LR and done. It totally has everything to do with intent and purpose, I agree.
Really helpful intro. Just tried putting into my nice new expensive Fujifilm a recipe to simulate my cheap old pocket-sized point and shoot. I'm used to using Photoshop and Painter, but it'll be interesting to see if I gravitate towards any custom settings that work well for my painting. It could simplify workflow somewhat. Many thanks for the video!
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I get a load of notifications but don't normally see yours and others.... Ime gonna have to keep my eye out for this each week.... Good excuse to get back to seeing ones I've missed
Oh I haven't been doing them weekly at the moment either, I have been out in my van shooting lots, working on a way to share my progress better with that, I need to get over my high standards and just get back to sharing everything
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography it's the housekeeping in my mind to keep checking weekly so I don't miss so much on the subs that hold some value rather than me just passing the time... Keep up the good work
Is it possible to apply custom recipes to video? I noticed on my X100V that when I press Q in video mode, my custom recipes box is grayed out. I can still obviously use the built in Gil simulations but I can’t access my custom recipes. The only way I’ve figured out how to shoot video with a custom recipe is to manually enter it in after switching to video mode.
Thank you so much for the video! However, when I try to save a custom setting, the option is greyed out - do you know why it may be? Also wanted to ask you if it's possible to use custom recipes in auto mode? Thank you!
I had no idea I can do that. Very helpful. Thank you. Your channel is much appreciated. Your videos are clear, concise, and you explain complicated topics in a simple way. Question: Are custom settings limited to the options in the quick menu? For example I am doing a lot of night photography and always have to dial in the settings manually. Then when I go back to day photography I have to reset.
Shutter aperture and iso do need to be dialed in every time for astro. I do have cheatsheets on my Instagram page to screen shot which might help you with this though. And thank you kindly for that support.
Hello! Just wondering, Im also using XT3 however for the grain settings, I cant seem to find the Strong (Small) options. its only either strong, weak or none. Any idea how to fix this? thank you so much in advance! love your channel
Thanks for the great video. I can understand making modifications to the existing settings and saving it with specific names to create your own film simulation recipes. But how do you use the raw file to go through these created recipes without re-taking the photos? Is it possible? Thank you.
Yes in camera it is. Off the top of my head if you find the photo you like in playback. There is a like a edit or / apply film similar to option, I’m not near my camera right now to say the exact wording
4.25 I cant‘t dial in the Blue and Red values on my X-E3 :/ Do you have an idea, why I can adjust the Red and Blue settings for the White Balance within the IQ menue but not within the custom settings menu?
While using the Fuji recipe, does the camera record with fuji recipe and delivers the output with recepie? I was wondering that if someone wants to further color grade the file.. will it be possible if the video already records in film stimulation?
As long as you’re not shooting I flog and most components of film recipes can’t be applied to video. Film simulations, highlights, shadows, WB etc can be, but not the heavier effects. But yes I used to shot a lot of video with eterna or classic chrome, with -2 Highlights and shadows and then grade it further in post.
Thank you for an interesting video. I have really got into the simulations on my Mu-43 gear either. Found one or two I liked but found if I tried to change them they looked worse than default. I think camera manufacturers do a really good job on their default values for their effects and simulations. I suppose they know their gear better than me :)
I also think subtle changes are better than major changes. I also do -2 highlights and shadows even when shooting RAW just so the screen preview shows more detail.
Excellent video as always ❤️ Although Fujifilm BW have their unique character.. Is it possible to replicate Leica monochrome colour recipe for Fuji..? I use a Xpro1
When I try and do these film Sims on my Fuji X-T3, the option for tone curve isn’t there. Is this only available on later fujis or do I have to select another setting?
Set your iso to “auto 6400” You’ll see you have 3 auto iso options and for each of those you can set a ceiling of what the iso will max out at. Set that ceiling at 6400
So if I shoot raw + jpg I get the unaltered image and the processed one. The only 'settings' the raw captures is like the actual exposure, aperture iso stuff while the jpg captures all the processing on top. I'm wondering, is film simulations and recipes basically like playing with the color saturation and contrast dials on a canon? Thanks
I am unsure what exactly you mean sorry but if you could pm me on a social media so I could see a photo of your screen I can hopefully point you in the right direction
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thank you for replying! I meant that when saving the custom profile, when setting the white balance setting, I wasn't able to hit right on the D-pad and set the custom values for red and blue. After a bit of searching however I found out that this is happening because you can't save those values on the X-T3 and you have to set them manually :)
Hi! How i use these Recipes in filming mode ? While in movie mode this simulations turnes to unadjustable only default film modes can be apply (I have x-t3 btw) I could not figure it out :( Thank you.
Recipes are more limited in video, they get a little less limited in newer models but due to the heavy processing required to apply recipes order cameras and certain parts of a recipe just can’t be applied fast enough for it to be usable during video. For example On a xh2s I can add highlights and shadows, sharpness and NR to most simulations, but that’s about it
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thank you for the answer. and it is so quick :) do i understand; for video, i choose the one of the default film simulations and i change the settings like shadow, highlight, white balance and then is it the same the settings that i apply on the photo image ? i mean more or less same. this is the way i should do right?
Not quite the same, as video mode might be more cropped and has extra settings like clarity and some colour options that video doesn’t have. But if you set those options to the same as your video it should be very close to matching
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I've loved it so much in photography. But my job is filming. So i try to understand if i missing something in video part :) I didnt even know this feature 3 days ago. But when i heard about it i though that can be an alternative to LUTs. Thank you for the detailed information.
Hi, thanks for the helpful video! My question is, if I want to slightly change the raw file, can I open it on Lightroom with the selection I made for the recipe included? It doesn't seem to work, is it a Lightroom issue?
Thanks for these ideas bro, really helpful tips. Loved that B&W shot of the dog on beach. I´ve been playing with some of the darker simulations for winter shooting. So many possibilities eh!
Recently purchased the X-T4 and would like to use film simulation recipes but am confused. If I set up 7 different recipes in the camera and say chose custom setting 1 and take several shots, how do I get out of that custom setting and be able to take shots with the default settings that were in the camera when purchased while still maintaining the custom 1 recipe for future use? Going to shoot raw plus fine.
So if you go into your Q menu and change the too right hand options to say base. This is like a main setting, you can still change some other options in the Q menu and they will be saved to that base option, but I like to keep it neutral and use it as a fully base
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I would like to know if recipes can be made in an X10 and which X-Trans would be the most appropriate to use in fuji x weekly, thank you very much, cheers, you have very good videos.
I mention this in the video but you can't change clarity if on CH or CL burst modes, it takes a lot to apply to your images and the camera can only handle it with a single frame at a time.
A few people have been informing me that the xt3 is missing a few of the options despite it having the same processor, so some recipes will not work for the xt3 that do for the other cameras sorry
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yeah I'm on the latest firmware, I just updated to 4.00 the other week. Th only way I can alter it is if in the customisation I save the daylight WB & then go back into the menu and repeat the process for WB but doesn't allow changing whilst customising.
I guess you can't then sorry, I haven't done those style of saved presets on the xtrans 3. As like I said the ones from the videos are for xtrans 4. So maybe on the older cameras you can't save the exact WB to the preset.
Hi new fuji user here, Do the custom profiles overwrite the standard film sims until you delete the edited one, for example i was using a custom recipe with a base of classic chrome but wanted to switch back to the genuine classic chrome but when i selected CC it was still the modified version. Help!
Correct, what I would suggest doing is leaving the very first base profile as standard, and switching that around for on the fly simulation and not saving over it.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yeah I just checked now and I have it on “S” and I don’t know where to look at which firmware I have, but earlier today I went on the Fujifilm app to see if I needed to update it and it said I was up-to-date
Be aware this will reset everything, but a factory reset should bring it back, off the top of my head I can’t think of what else hides it, but your camera does have the option.
Would you care to share your best recipe for video? I know you said using film simulation in camera for video is so good it was hard to match it in edit. I use Classic Chrome, shadows -2, Color +2, wb auto red 0 blue +2
I do similar as you when not shooting flog But with colour at 0, highlights at -2 And leave red and blue at zero, I don’t use auto WB any more as it just created more work to match between shoots
Never used it, in my studio at home it didn’t look very good, I used the film sim mention above while I learnt how to grade, and the nature of my work now doesn’t suit any of the film sim looks
hey i just bought the xs10 and i am really confused about the settings (i watched your video about your settings) but i am hoping you can make a video explaining the dials and how to shoot in m mode also i do not know how to change the shutter speed
I no longer have the camera sorry. But I am very sure by default the wheels by your right hand thumb and index finger while you grip the camera change your shutter and maybe aperture depending on which lens you are using. And I changed the left hand command dial to ISO instead of film simulations, but you can just as easily leave ISO on the original button if you like. Hope this helps.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yes it did thank you! I wish you still had the camera tho bc there is no one at the moment explaining how to change the settings
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I had the x100v and could select my recipes in the menu. I’ve been playing with the X-S10 for 2 days and cannot work out how to select my recipes.
I just switched to mine when I had it on the mood dial, BUT I didn't do very heavy testing of this and haven't use the xs10 for a while now to confirm exactly sorry
X-T2: whitebalance settings are not saved with the preset, neither is the file type. I like the idea of a jpeg as a certain film look if it was 1-button preset.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography standard is what i'm using too. i don't do any tweaking. the image would be for the gallery site and for print, but mainly it's only for the site. i've alwasy had issues with printers but i found that not all printers are "on the same page" anyway. and one printer told me that ultimately it comes down to the printer's eye. the one photographer i knew who went to great lengths for color accuracy was a guy you did catalogoes for bloomingdales and he, his ad, and the printer were all locked into the smae color environment. i cannot go that far. i was just hoping for a recipe that would eliminate some issues. for instance i need to use polarizers to eliminate glare but then the images would be too saturated and highly contrasty. then there's also the problm of certain cameras picking up and accentuating colors i did not anticipate. that is why i asked this question
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography my palette is very narrow and tight. all my colors are muted and greyed so the nuances are slight. my palette is NOT colorful, so if something is off it's very noticeable, as opposed to say an artist with a colorful palette
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography since i just bought the t30 i have become aware of all the tweaks,,,things i never paid attention to. i thought there might be a recipe for that?
Not that I have done a huge amount of this but I put all my effort into getting the light correct. Good soft boxes in the right position and I didn’t use any filters
This is probably one of the best recipe how to videos on UA-cam, A little fast but good thing we can slow it down in the settings, i was able to download about 5 recipes already, LOVE IT.
Thank you
Please make a video about Xt30, it doesn’t have some options you showed
I'm getting a second-hand X-T2 and it's just the channel I needed :)
I would like to use Ferrania P30 film for my X100F, I cannot find it. Any suggestions or ideas how I can find or make my own simulator?

When I try and do these film Sims on my Fuji X-T3, the option for tone curve isn’t there. Is this only available on later fujis or do I have to select another setting?
So if I set my iso to 6400, that means it’s up to 6400 (per a recipe) or does that mean it’ll always be at 6400? Confused what “iso up to X” means
Set your iso to “auto 6400”

So if I shoot raw + jpg I get the unaltered image and the processed one. The only 'settings' the raw captures is like the actual exposure, aperture iso stuff while the jpg captures all the processing on top. I'm wondering, is film simulations and recipes basically like playing with the color saturation and contrast dials on a canon?
Thanks
Yes exactly
Thank you for this!
I tried a couple on my X-T20 but the outcome is that everything is very yellow, it's the white balance I think?
how do i set Min shutter speed to auto in the auto iso setting? i don't seem to have that option. I'm using x100v
You just change the shutter speed to auto on the shutter speed dial
Thanks for the great video! However in my X-T3 it seems I'm not able to dial in Red and Blue values for the Daylight option... Any ideas?
I am unsure what exactly you mean sorry but if you could pm me on a social media so I could see a photo of your screen I can hopefully point you in the right direction
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thank you for replying! I meant that when saving the custom profile, when setting the white balance setting, I wasn't able to hit right on the D-pad and set the custom values for red and blue. After a bit of searching however I found out that this is happening because you can't save those values on the X-T3 and you have to set them manually :)
Very happy you found it out, and all the best
Hi! How i use these Recipes in filming mode ? While in movie mode this simulations turnes to unadjustable only default film modes can be apply (I have x-t3 btw) I could not figure it out :(
Thank you.
Recipes are more limited in video, they get a little less limited in newer models but due to the heavy processing required to apply recipes order cameras and certain parts of a recipe just can’t be applied fast enough for it to be usable during video.
For example On a xh2s I can add highlights and shadows, sharpness and NR to most simulations, but that’s about it
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thank you for the answer. and it is so quick :) do i understand; for video, i choose the one of the default film simulations and i change the settings like shadow, highlight, white balance and then is it the same the settings that i apply on the photo image ? i mean more or less same.
this is the way i should do right?
Not quite the same, as video mode might be more cropped and has extra settings like clarity and some colour options that video doesn’t have.
But if you set those options to the same as your video it should be very close to matching
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I've loved it so much in photography. But my job is filming. So i try to understand if i missing something in video part :) I didnt even know this feature 3 days ago. But when i heard about it i though that can be an alternative to LUTs.
Thank you for the detailed information.
Yeah for fast turn around I’ve been filming a lot in eterna with negative everything and it’s been coming out great
Question. How can I add the exp comp on the recipes!???
Hi, thanks for the helpful video!
My question is, if I want to slightly change the raw file, can I open it on Lightroom with the selection I made for the recipe included?
It doesn't seem to work, is it a Lightroom issue?
Film simulations do not work on RAW files, only jpegs
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Oh no!
Can you save the WB settings to all Custom slots or did Fuji skipped this one again?
Thanks for these ideas bro, really helpful tips. Loved that B&W shot of the dog on beach. I´ve been playing with some of the darker simulations for winter shooting. So many possibilities eh!
Cheers man, and yeah it never ends, love it.
Recently purchased the X-T4 and would like to use film simulation recipes but am confused. If I set up 7 different recipes in the camera and say chose custom setting 1 and take several shots, how do I get out of that custom setting and be able to take shots with the default settings that were in the camera when purchased while still maintaining the custom 1 recipe for future use? Going to shoot raw plus fine.
So if you go into your Q menu and change the too right hand options to say base.
This is like a main setting, you can still change some other options in the Q menu and they will be saved to that base option, but I like to keep it neutral and use it as a fully base
Im planning on getting a xt5 for film recipes and other stuff. Any good?
Absolutely
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography awesome thanks
Do you know anything about recipes for a
fujifilm x10? thanks.
I know stuff yes, what would you like to know
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I would like to know if recipes can be made in an X10 and which X-Trans would be the most appropriate to use in fuji x weekly, thank you very much, cheers, you have very good videos.
X-trans 1 recipes should be your go to.
fujixweekly.com/fujifilm-x-trans-i-recipes/
Cool. Just bought a x t30 so I've got a lot of experimenting to do!
The Fujifilm weekly app is also now a great place to look for recipes
After, that get started with LUT's (colour lookup tables) and then there is no end to the variations... 😛😮
Is there a edit/save setting in XA10?
My X-T20 doesn't allow me to get to the third IQ page? Does anyone know why and how to fix it?
Very informative..thank you,
New subscriber here..
Thank you and welcome
My X-T4 Clarity option is always greyed out.... is there a way to unlock this so i can use the recipes?
I mention this in the video but you can't change clarity if on CH or CL burst modes, it takes a lot to apply to your images and the camera can only handle it with a single frame at a time.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Thanks I picked it up after I posted... d'oh
X-s10 and x-t3, which one should i choose?
ua-cam.com/video/GVR2vra3tlQ/v-deo.html
This should help
Would have loved to see some portraits … you know with Portra 400 :)
There are lots of genres I didn’t test out, but it’s very easy to play with your own sims and with your own content to find out what you love
Fuji also has a line of medium format cameras not mentioned I your vid.
As a general guide if it has the same processor it’ll use the same film simulations as the XF series
Hi, why does my setting doesn't show the Large option on grain & Clarity option?
What camera do you have?
And also make sure you are on single shot and not a burst mode
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Fuji X-T3. Burst mode you mean Continuous High right? No, I’m on standard Single shot mode.
A few people have been informing me that the xt3 is missing a few of the options despite it having the same processor, so some recipes will not work for the xt3 that do for the other cameras sorry
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography damn that sucks haha..
Where I find the exposure compesation on setting?
Depends on your camera and it’s something you need to set each time, it can’t be saved to the film sim
Love it
I don't get the WB box to alter shift using the d pad on the xt3 is there another way of adjusting the WB on the xt?
I don't have a xt3 on me to check sorry, but it does work on all my cameras older than a xt3, are you on the latest firmware?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yeah I'm on the latest firmware, I just updated to 4.00 the other week. Th only way I can alter it is if in the customisation I save the daylight WB & then go back into the menu and repeat the process for WB but doesn't allow changing whilst customising.
I guess you can't then sorry, I haven't done those style of saved presets on the xtrans 3. As like I said the ones from the videos are for xtrans 4.
So maybe on the older cameras you can't save the exact WB to the preset.
Hi new fuji user here, Do the custom profiles overwrite the standard film sims until you delete the edited one, for example i was using a custom recipe with a base of classic chrome but wanted to switch back to the genuine classic chrome but when i selected CC it was still the modified version. Help!
Correct, what I would suggest doing is leaving the very first base profile as standard, and switching that around for on the fly simulation and not saving over it.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Thanks a lot man, this is good way for me to alternate between them, cheers!
Great video but I don't follow when you explain how to dial in the colours for the daylight settings..
If you’d like some help working it out feel free to PM me on Instagram and I’d be happy to help you work it out
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography thanks man! I found out that my X-T3 just didn't have the colour option for all white balance options.
Gracias fuel de Mucha ayuda tu video!
i dont have the "clarity", "chrome effect blue" and being able to choose my "RED" and "BLUE" option on my Xt-3 menu like you do. help?
Are you on single shot, or a burst drive mode of some sort, is it greyed out or not there at all?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography not there at all
And are you definitely on single shot drive mode?
What firmware are you running?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yeah I just checked now and I have it on “S” and I don’t know where to look at which firmware I have, but earlier today I went on the Fujifilm app to see if I needed to update it and it said I was up-to-date
Be aware this will reset everything, but a factory reset should bring it back, off the top of my head I can’t think of what else hides it, but your camera does have the option.
I am a bit overwhelmed with all the choises etc. Do you may know how good these work for the X-S10? I think about getting it as my first Fuji.
The xs10 will do all the current Fujifilm recipes I believe, plus I personally believe the xs10 is the perfect first Fujifilm camera.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography Thank you so much for the fast answer! I hope i can pick it up this week.
Qazi... Haha, mean bro like superia personally, had that sweet sunset look
Would you care to share your best recipe for video? I know you said using film simulation in camera for video is so good it was hard to match it in edit.
I use Classic Chrome, shadows -2, Color +2, wb auto red 0 blue +2
I do similar as you when not shooting flog
But with colour at 0, highlights at -2
And leave red and blue at zero, I don’t use auto WB any more as it just created more work to match between shoots
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography do you edit it in any way?
Yes, I also now work for a video company full time and shoot 99% of my work in flog and grade it
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography that is awesome.
What is your experience with eternal film simulation?
Never used it, in my studio at home it didn’t look very good, I used the film sim mention above while I learnt how to grade, and the nature of my work now doesn’t suit any of the film sim looks
I don t have Color Chrome Effect. I use X T3. It s that normal?
Lots of people have been commenting saying colour chrome effect and clarity aren’t on the XT3 so yes that sounds normal unfortunately
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography i have Color Chrome but not the Blue setting.
Sorry that is what I meant, do you have clarity?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography no, but i have sharpness.
Kodak Portra 400: Shadow?.. is it (-2) or (+2) 😅
Watch Nacho Libre. Now that's a film sim to shoot for.
I can't seem to save the recipe. It always turns back to default.
If you’d like to add me on Instagram I might be able to help you more with this if you’d like to PM me
XA5
Cant find this menu... Any help guys ?
hey i just bought the xs10 and i am really confused about the settings (i watched your video about your settings) but i am hoping you can make a video explaining the dials and how to shoot in m mode also i do not know how to change the shutter speed
I no longer have the camera sorry.
But I am very sure by default the wheels by your right hand thumb and index finger while you grip the camera change your shutter and maybe aperture depending on which lens you are using.
And I changed the left hand command dial to ISO instead of film simulations, but you can just as easily leave ISO on the original button if you like.
Hope this helps.
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography yes it did thank you! I wish you still had the camera tho bc there is no one at the moment explaining how to change the settings
As in spinning those wheels doesn't change the settings?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography I had the x100v and could select my recipes in the menu. I’ve been playing with the X-S10 for 2 days and cannot work out how to select my recipes.
I just switched to mine when I had it on the mood dial, BUT I didn't do very heavy testing of this and haven't use the xs10 for a while now to confirm exactly sorry
I am so confused bc my XT3 menu doesn't look like this at all.
how to get back to default without any custom setting?
i have the old Polaroid recipes on my gfx
Hahaha I love the contrast of that, and the creativity it would push you to use. Awesome idea!
X-T2: whitebalance settings are not saved with the preset, neither is the file type. I like the idea of a jpeg as a certain film look if it was 1-button preset.
anybody suggest a good recipe for shooting flat artwork(oil paintings). i need accuracy
When I’ve done it in the past I just used standard everything.
What’s your final output/location of the photo going to be e.g. print, web etc?
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography standard is what i'm using too. i don't do any tweaking. the image would be for the gallery site and for print, but mainly it's only for the site. i've alwasy had issues with printers but i found that not all printers are "on the same page" anyway. and one printer told me that ultimately it comes down to the printer's eye. the one photographer i knew who went to great lengths for color accuracy was a guy you did catalogoes for bloomingdales and he, his ad, and the printer were all locked into the smae color environment. i cannot go that far. i was just hoping for a recipe that would eliminate some issues. for instance i need to use polarizers to eliminate glare but then the images would be too saturated and highly contrasty. then there's also the problm of certain cameras picking up and accentuating colors i did not anticipate. that is why i asked this question
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography my palette is very narrow and tight. all my colors are muted and greyed so the nuances are slight. my palette is NOT colorful, so if something is off it's very noticeable, as opposed to say an artist with a colorful palette
@@ThomasBusbyPhotography since i just bought the t30 i have become aware of all the tweaks,,,things i never paid attention to. i thought there might be a recipe for that?
Not that I have done a huge amount of this but I put all my effort into getting the light correct.
Good soft boxes in the right position and I didn’t use any filters
I don't see all these options on my xt3
I don't have a xt3 on me to guide you sorry, but it they should be hidden in there somewhere.
Here’s a stupid question. Why didn’t Fuji just give users the ability to import a film simulation recipe?
I’d take a guess because that would require another device, but mostly you’re right, being able to share them as a download etc would be nice
doesn't work on my X-T3 🙁
What doesn’t?
I think he just rushed through the video, some of us are beginners who are just learning to use some of these thgs.
Pause the video while watching 🙂
