The Fabulous Fuji X owners thread

New firmware out for both X-H2 variants and the X-T5.

Nothing fancy it appears. Just a bug fix(es) for some of the film simulations.

@trevorbray Really like that recipe for TriX .
Please can you share the settings either here or in PM to me.
Thanks.

Go to www.fujixweekly.com

There are hundreds of film simulation recipes to try, all organised by X-Trans sensor generation. I've got a few loaded into my camera to try over the next few weeks.

Is this an app, if so, what app?

I hear about these recipes a lot, are they put inside the camera? I didn't know you can do that.....even the X100 and X-T1/Pro1?

There is an app that lists them but also the website, Fuji X Weekly. The app is also called Fuji X Weekly.

You can store them as custom settings in the camera. Unsure how many slots are available on the earlier cameras, there are 7 on my X-T4 so I have a few programmed in. I have the small button on the top plate next to the shutter button programmed to bring up the custom settings picker so I can choose them. I've left a couple of slots free so I can shoot without any in-camera processing turned on if I want to.

There is a guide on the website on how to add them. The recipes are categorised by sensor generation, so you'd be looking for X-Trans I recipes.

There is an iPhone app…

No idea about android.

Like @RichardC27 says though. All on the site. Different steps for different X-Trans generations.
 
So I guess whole idea is in camera processing, instead of having a LR preset made and do it in the computer?

Correct, these are recipes for the JPGs so you can get these styles SOOC. Most imitate film stocks, but some are just good looking styles.

Yes, the idea is you don't process the files at all, you use the in camera adjustments only. The guy who runs the site doesn't use anything other than his camera with the film recipes, and his iPhone to do minor cropping or straightening. All of the example photos on the film simulation recipe pages are SOOC jpegs.

I've tended to shoot raw and process afterwards since getting my X-T4 last year but I'm going to give Jpeg shooting a go this year, using either these film simulation recipes or just the built in camera profiles. I've found the Fuji jpegs are good enough 90% of the time, they still allow a good amount of shadow and highlight recovery if needed.

I guess...in theory, you can use the X100 and put in recipes that isn't available on it from stock? like Classic Neg?

Unfortunately not. I mean, there are some on there that try to emulate stuff like that, but I'm yet to find a decent classic neg one.

No, you can't add film simulations that aren't included in the camera firmware. This is one of the reasons the recipes on Fuji X Weekly are categorised by sensor generation, as some film simulations are only available on certain cameras. There are probably recipes that will try to emulate the look of later film simulations for cameras that don't have them.

The X-T4 doesn't have Nostalgic Neg, for example, that's limited to the X-H2 models and the X-T5, but I'd imagine all future Fuji cameras will have it. But Fuji are never going to add it to older cameras with a firmware update

I thought you can create your own with those settings?

I know newer cameras comes with more simulations but they come with from factory. Am I mistaken that these "recipes" are ones you make in ADDITION to the ones that comes with the camera?

If you can indeed tweak it, what's stopping me to adjust the settings in a camera?

The fact that older cameras don't have all the recipe settings available, you'll probably be able to get something you like though.

Some simulations require changing settings that you don't have access to. In realistic terms, 90% of the recipe comes from the film sim you base it on, the white balance, and the tone curve by editing the shadow and highlight settings - but that is only for the overall RGB tone curve.

Some simulations would require changes to each channel individually, for example dropping the greens but boosting the reds, boosting blues but only in the shadows etc - You just don't have those settings in camera, Fuji sets the individual tone curves and colour profiles in the factory.

Nothing, but obviously it's very limited compared to any image editing software. I can change the tone curve, adjust WB, and have an adjustment range of +/- 5 on things like Colour, Sharpness and Clarity. Clarity is only available with the camera in Single shot mode, as it slows things down quite considerably. As above, the base look comes from the in-camera film simulation, you can only really make minor tweaks to that.

Classic Neg renders reds and greens very differently to anything else, I think it would be very hard to recreate in a camera that didn't have it. I did read somewhere that Fuji just payed RNI to use their Fuji Superia film profile and that became Classic Neg

Yes thanks. I have tried many of them but they dont work that well for me.
The result from Trevor's pictures looked closer to how my old TriX images looked. In those days using film there was a huge dependence on how you processed the film, what developer and what paper and grade you used in the printing.

The simulations from others I have tested seem very grey and lacked the contrast that I preferred.
 
I just found two Fuji flashers, one is the Godox TT350f and the other is the TT685f. Will either of these work on my X-S10 and X-T5 ?

Edit... Just found out that both will work, so now have to figure out what Trigger is Fuji and the other might be Sony.

Well the TT350F works fine on the X-T5 but NOT on the X-S10. Not fussed on that so all good, now have to find more batteries then test the TT685F, plus the trigger is all sorted so will get rid of the Sony trigger.

Dave, I am pretty sure the TT350F works on my XS10. I will test later.

Does it not fire at all or does it not TTL properly?
 
I just tested it on my XS10 with my TT350F.
All modes work for me when in Aperture Priority mode and I get perfect flash exposures.
To change the flash mode on the camera you use the rear EV dial located at rear right of camera body.
I can use Manual flash, TTL mode and Multi mode.

I have 2 685`s and they work perfectly with the T5 (y)
