These film simulation recipes are compatible with all Fujifilm X-Trans III sensor cameras, which include the X-Pro2, X100F, X-E3, X-T2, X-T20, and X-H1. A few of the X-T3 and X-T30 X-Trans IV recipes are fully compatible with X-Trans III cameras; however, most are partially compatible, which means that you don’t have every required setting on your camera, so it won’t look exactly the same, but feel free to try anyway. These X-Trans III recipes can be used on X-Trans IV cameras.

Hi
I just found this recently and was curious if you could figure out a recipe for Ilford Delta 400 for Xpro2. I’m still learning the camera and it’s functions as I bought it used and came with no manual.

You can use X-Trans I and X-Trans II recipes on the X-T200, but it won’t look 100% the same. I encourage you to give them a try and see if there are some that produce results that you like.

Thanks so much for this! One question: when using a film simulation recipe, do you shoot in manual mode, or in aperture priority (or something else)? (Given that you sometimes mention exposure compensation, I’m thinking maybe not manual?)
LikeLiked by 1 person
Great question! I most often shoot in Aperture Priority. Sometimes Shutter Priority. Sometimes Manual. For Manual, the exposure compensation is a guide to know how far above or below the meter you should consider shooting. Of course, each exposure should be judged individually. I hope this helps!

First off, I appreciate you taking the time to figure out these recipes. So far I’ve tried Kodachrome II, Pro 400H, Ektar 100, and Classic Chrome and my shadows seem to be getting crushed. I have an X100F and I’ve been using VSCO desktop for years with this camera and other cameras previously owned. The only film simulation I can compare is their Pro 400H, which keeps more detail in the shadows. I also used to shoot a lot of Portra 400 and Ektar 100 in my old Canon AE-1 and I don’t remember the shadows looking so flat. I feel like most, if not all, of the recipes I’ve tried need at least a -1 to the recommended shadow tone setting. Of course, this could all just be my personal preference.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Not really knowing exactly what’s happening, I’d recommend adding a little more exposure. That does well to lift the shadows. Of course that’s a tough balancing act because you don’t want to blow out the highlights. It’s perfectly ok to “season to taste” the recipes to your liking, so adjusting the shadows is perfectly fine. Another option is to pull up the shadows using software… the details are there in the JPEGs. That takes a little of the fun out of it, though, but if it works, it works.

I just found your website and it is exactly what I was looking for! Was trying to utilize my x100f more. However, I did find that this model does not save the white balance shift to the presets so it does get a little complicated. Did you ever try sending a message to Fujifilm? Maybe I should try and see if they would consider it for a firmware update.

Hi! I’m glad that you found it. Unfortunately only the X-Pro3 and newer can save WB Shifts with the Custom Presets. I don’t have any insider contacts at Fujifilm. That would be great if I did! I’d love to talk with them about all sorts of things. I appreciate the comment!

I Have a question, when shooting with a Fuji recipe camera still saves a raw file on one card and jpg on the other. (taking about X-Pro3 here). How does this raw file differ from the one from the factory settings? Is that raw file editable the same way as the one at factory settings? I appreciate your answer.
LikeLiked by 1 person
The RAW file has the JPEG data contained within, and different editing softwares will apply its interpretation of some of those settings to the RAW file. White balance is probably the big one. Each program (Lightroom, Capture 1, etc.) is a little different in how it handles the JPEG data contained in the RAW files, but the settings do affect it, although you certainly have the authority to manipulate the RAW image however you want, and “undo” any affects of the software applying its version of the JPEG settings. I hope this helps.
