Are the Fuji Film Simulations ACTUALLY Usable? #fujifilm #streetphotography #x100vi

Shooting RAW, if you press "OK" for certain photo, you can generate more JPEGs with different Film Simulations (literally, 3 seconds job). Also, you can do a bracket to generate 3 different JPEGs automatically. These Fujifilm cameras have an in-camera photo editor, such a powerful tool and I don't see people talking about that. Just in case someone is not aware...

Great video !!! Thanks !!! I use a X100 T, classic chrome most of the time, I do street photography and things happen so fast that I have no time for changing film simulations.

I'll tell you this.. the LUTS on the Panasonic S9, are truly...and I mean truly.. SOOC, no editing needed !!! The way the Lumix Lab app works, it makes the whole experience of getting simulations / LUTS onto the camera, a breeze. It also allows you to tweak the settings of it, on the phone, and share it w/ others, and even add grain, and even STACK luts, to create your own hybrid lut of sorts. Every major camera company will copy their system. Guaranteed. Before anybody goes crazy, I am also an X-T5 owner and shooter, but I still always need to give some work to the images in post. Not much, but..always. I have yet to do that on the S9.

I love the straight out of cam shooting. I like editing before I shoot. That is a real challenge to me atm. I shoot mostly classic neg, chrome, and acros only JPEG atm unless its for a more formal style of shoot.. but if you're walking around shifting between multiple film sims it can get messy, so having like two or three locked in and understood is a good JPEG workflow. Post production on my Sony often made me feel disconnected from the photos and moments.

It's a bit older camera but I still have a big smile on my face using my Olympus Pen F. You can adjust so many things in it that you hardly have to do any post-processing. Yes, it takes a 'lot of time' but that's part of the fun. So I call it my Zen F Enjoy your camera

If you download the Fuji RAW app, shoot with both a film sim and RAW, you can then use the camera as a RAW management tool to test different sim looks and do post adjustments. Always a good back up strategy but large files. As an old hand who used to use all the original film stocks from Fuji, the latest sims are pretty accurate. As the film sim mode, and the web site, tell you which is best for what, you can quickly learn the ideal sim. Of course, as others pointed out, you can use the film sim bracketing within the camera, so say Velvia, Reala Ace and Acros. After my first 1000 shots I favour Velvia for landscapes, Standard for cities and Reala Ace for a standard high quality look.

Although I shoot in raw and jpeg just in case I need that latitude in editing (raw) The majority of photos are used as jpeg only. I may slightly edit the jpegs but I really don’t need the raws. Fuji has done a really good job of processing great out of camera photos.

I shoot JPG and raw when using the film simulations. The film sims usually go on my socials. Then, I like to play with the raw, fine-tune it, and stick it on my website.

You should get the wide angle adapter for your X100Vi, specially when shooting architecture + street, really amazing, and yes, I prefer Acros Y (the pictures you took)

I only shoot JPEG with my xe2, raw with my xs10. I like the way the JPEGS come out, tbh

The film simulations are awesome, but I want a little more character or style. Which is why I love film recipes. Especially Fuji X Weekly. Also, Fuji X Raw Studio is such a cool software, and why I choose to shoot in jpeg and raw. You can use other film simulations on your RAW files, just like you can do in camera, but on your computer. Currently experimenting to try and develop my own recipe that captures my style so I can shoot and be happy with the jpegs in camera. 😊

Acros + R is so good … that’s my default JPEG sim sometimes punched up with the highlights and shadows curve. I also capture the raw image just in case using X Raw Studio to edit on the rare occasion that the JPEG is not to my liking. 📷🙂

I shoot jpeg+raw, but I'm really only holding onto the raw just in case. I don't have the time (thanks to two young kids), nor do I want, to sit in from of Lightroom/C1 and edit photos for hours on end. I share most of my images with family/friends straight from the camera, and find myself using Acros+G and Classic Chrome the most (but I do like Classic and Nostalgic Neg too). It's what made me buy into Fuji when I came back to photography a few months ago. I hired a Sony first and whilst it's a very impressive system, it felt a bit soulless to me, and I also felt I had to tweak every shot to get it how I liked it. The Fuji for me makes taking photos fun again, especially with the film sims. Having to edit for hours afterwards would soon erode that fun.

For the question at the end: Film sims only with some tweaks before sharing. My days of raw editing are mostly over after 23 or so years. 😮‍💨🥳 👍

Cool, I do that a lot for family-pictures.. Playing with dmthe DR-settings makes the pictures really usable and put the noise reduction to -4 makes the pictures the sharpest, bec they get soft woth the normal setting .

I've been using tuned filmed simulations on my Nikon D7200 for quite a while now as it saves editing time and file sizes when I'm doing events and makes uploading and processing for clients real easy.

I shot a lot in raw and using the built-in raw converter until I knew which recipes I used the most to trust them. I still use raw for night views to set correctly the white balance, but by day I am happy to use my modified Ritchie's Ektar 100 recipe and, only at midday (harsh light here in the Peruvian highlands near the Equatorial line), I bracket the exposures to use the focus merge option in Affinity Photo to have a nice extended tonality without looking HDR and preserving the Fuji colors. Sounds cumbersome but I get the colors I want without raws, or RAFs.

I had to give your channel a follow for effort! Ive had the xt2,xt3 and getting the xt5. Have had the 16mm, 18mm, 23mmWR, 50-140mm, and a bunch of non-fujifilm

that looks so good!! Did you pre-order the camera in February?

Just found your channel! I'm so happy to have another photography channel to follow, and especially one run by a female photographer! I'm rooting for you and hope you keep it up! Congratulations and I'm already following you. Oh, editing JPEGs isn't a problem, since I prefer shooting on film. It's more about the process than the result.
