Everything You Need to Know About Fujifilm Recipes

Discover answers to common questions about Fujifilm film simulation recipes. Learn how to use custom settings, which cameras support them, and how to fine-tune settings for the best results.

Why Shoot SOOC JPEG (Straight Out of Camera)?

Shooting straight out of the camera, SOOC JPEG helps you understand exposure, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings in different lighting conditions. It also eliminates the need for post-processing, allowing you to share images instantly.

Many Fujifilm X-Series cameras feature built-in film simulations. Custom film recipes are optimized for X-Trans IV sensors, but newer models can also use them. Supported cameras include:

  • X-Trans IV – X-T4, X-S10, X-S20, X-E4, X100V, X-T30 II, X-Pro3
  • X-Trans V – X-T5, X-H2, X-H2S, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5

While these recipes work on newer cameras, some color tones and contrast may vary due to sensor differences. Adjusting White Balance Shift or Kelvin temperature can help achieve the desired look.

Yes, as long as your camera includes base simulations like Acros, Classic Negative, or Provia, you can apply custom settings. However, older Fujifilm cameras may not have the ability to save custom settings, meaning you’ll need to manually adjust them each time.

Some features, such as Clarity, Color Chrome Effect, and Color Chrome FX Blue, may be missing. However, you can still tweak Highlights, Shadows, Colors, and White Balance Shift to achieve similar results. While the final look may not match exactly, these adjustments help bring out the film-like tones.

Yes! Diffusion filters have been used in film photography for years. They soften skin tones and add a glow effect. The Downtown Bloom recipe pairs well with a diffusion filter for a dreamy, vintage look.

Yes! Vintage lenses can enhance the film-like aesthetic. Ensure the lens is clear, as older glass may develop a yellow tint that affects color accuracy. You can remove the tint with certain DIY methods found on YouTube.

The built-in simulations are great, but custom recipes allow more creative control. Many photographers experiment with Kodak Portra film recipes, Kodachrome 64, Ilford HP5 Plus, and CineStill 800T to achieve specific vintage film looks.

Yes! Recipes work on X-100VI, X-T50, X-T5, X-S20, X-M5, X-H2, and X-H2S. Some fine-tuning may be needed due to sensor differences, but White Balance Shift and Kelvin adjustments help match the tones.
