Fujifilm Film Simulations Settings Simplified (Part 3) | Assign Custom Settings

[@Mu3azOsman]

finally got my x100, and your tutorials and custom settings and have been the most useful videos for me. thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge bro

[@JayRegular]

Congratulations Muaz! hope you make many memorable moments on your new camera ;)

[@callmedeno]

Is x100 one of the ones that has 7 custom settings slots?

[@jaschollum]

Fuji cameras let you bracket shoot with a few different options - AE, film simulation, etc. I wish they had the ability to bracket different custom settings. So each time you took a photo it would create 3 JPEG’s, and you could just keep the one you want.

[@JayRegular]

That would be a good feature, I hope Fuji is working on new firmware updates as we speak

[@nickbagelboy]

I actually hate when people say "Like, Comment, Subscribe" on their YT videos (as if we don't already know how to do that), but when I saw 3:44, I couldn't help but to smile. I definitely subbed and you're the first person I've subbed to in a while. And as you can see, I liked and commented ;). Well played. That was so subtle and creative. You deserved it.

[@JayRegular]

Haha thanks for the kind words and the sub! I try my best not to sell myself too hard, but sometimes I have to let it be known 🤣

[@LucyS565]

This 3-part Film Simulation series is wonderful! I've learned so much, thanks Jay!

The FLAT recipe is exactly what I’ve been looking for!

[@bushiiko]

That urban mood recipe is great 👌🏿

[@jamesmcconeghy8784]

Mr. JR..... I have some photo editing background, but I am very new to Fuji. I am considering migrating to Fuji (from Canon) and have found your videos on Fuji film simulations very, very helpful and informative. They have really helped me --begin-- to understand the Fuji system. Thank you so much for your well organized, informative, and well presented videos.

[@michael2968]

fauxjifilm looks awesome, i am going to try that one. thanks for sharing.

[@michael2968]

Hi Jay i have just started trying to add the recipe, but my XT30 doesn't have classic negative as a base. can i use classic chrome as the base or will this change the look too much?

[@JayRegular]

Classic Chrome is a good alternative, the difference is subtle so it shouldn't be too obvious

[@andrewmcphee8965]

Bought a X100V a couple of days ago, lots to learn. I'm loving your tutorials Jay, thanks so much and keep up the good work, lots of people appreciate it!

[@ChangshaNotes]

Thanks, Jay. I'm going to give your recipes a try. I never thought of using a flat recipe to have a better starting point with the phone apps. Great Idea.

[@JayRegular]

Thankyou! The flat profile was made because there's no real way to get a flat picture profile on Fuji cameras unless you shoot raw, so I had to make one out of frustration 😅

[@mdotbrown71]

Gotta try these recipes

[@AlexOnStreets]

Great video man! I like all your recipes. Especially the Flat profile. Makes so much sense. Editing jpgs can be so destructive sometimes, but when the immediacy is wanted this is great. Good work. 🤘

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Alex! I think the base Eterna simulation works fine too, but it's still a bit too contrasty and colourful for a compressed jpeg... 🤔

[@yarahusseini5209]

Your tutorials are awesome. THANK YOU.

[@6.5mm_is_the_best_mm]

I am not sure if the x100v has a Q button (quick menu) but a fourth way is to change the settings in the quick menu and then you can hold the Q button and it will ask you if you want to save your current settings to a custom preset. I have an X-t30 II and I think it is an amazing camera due to its small size while still having enough buttons and interchangeable lenses while sharing many of the X-T4's specs and features and it has a pop-up flash.

[@hungvu1676]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I have question: when you change all the setting such as sharpness, contrast, etc... and save to a new custom setting, do the change reset to original setting? Or do I have to manually change the settings back to the original? Thanks again.

[@JayRegular]

once you save the setting to a custom slot, it will remain in the slot until you decide to reset it.

[@Alphard_adventures]

Can you share your Snapseed custom setting you apply to your flat profile please 👍🏼

[@JayRegular]

I may make a video about this sometime, stay tuned

[@thiz82]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ZainRiza]

My current fave recipe is the Portra 160 one from Fuji X Weekly.

[@JayRegular]

I haven't checked that out yet! But I can imagine it would be quite pleasing, especially if that's the recipe you use for your photos 😁

[@stevesvids]

Hi Buddy..... these are fabulous...... im going to load all of these onto my xt3. What a great vid and so good of you to share the knowledge. Thanks 😊 🙂👍 Quick question..... if I select a custom setting how do I deselect it and go back to blank default setting. Thanks

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Steve, I hope the film simulations work well for you. If you wish to revert back to the default setting which was originally assigned to the custom slot by Fujifilm, go to edit/save custom settings > highlight the slot you want to reset > press ok and select reset > confirm That should set it back to what it was at factory settings. Hope that helps

[@stevesvids]

@@JayRegular How about that for service..... 5 minute response... thank you so much. Appreciated. 🙂👍 Take care buddy.

[@rok3353]

Hey Jay, nice video and interesting profiles. One question: do you use the clarity setting at all? On the film profiles it looks like you have, but hard to tell from a video. I do experiment also with 1 or 2 profiles to have an overexposed film look, but am not sure how to go with clarity. Thanks a lot!

[@JayRegular]

I think clarity is great, the only reason I avoid it is because it takes extra processing time in camera to apply the effect for some reason. I would rather push clarity in a third party application or take the image in raw and in camera, apply the clarity after taking the photo

[@TheLuis1960]

Congratulations on your work. You help us a lot. I have a question: On my XT3 I have all the Custom Settings filled with recipes. Can I keep the simulations that the camera brings somewhere in the menu? Thanks in advance for your help

[@smagriff6910]

Great info bro!!! How did you get -4500 on the night profile? no minus sign appears on mine ..

[@JayRegular]

It's 4500, that dash is a bit misleading 🤣

[@erikleypoldt8275]

What settings did you use for the shot of the old man in the street a few videos ago? Had more yellow. Great video.

[@JayRegular]

Not sure which video you are referring to, if it was film simulation part 2 you can probably see the x raw studio settings if you pause the video as I am editing.

[@yetkin.]

Great series! Wondering how you manage different white balance profiles in film simulations... I made some main lines and using them between the film profiles. But why on earth fujifilm does not allow us to customize it also?

[@JayRegular]

I think in newer Fuji cameras you can create individual white balance settings for different presets, I remember I couldn't do that with my xt2 but now I can on my x100v

[@gtmedley]

@@JayRegular How about how to set WB Shift in an X-T2 where that adjustment is not available when in Custom Settings mode.

[@JayRegular]

I think you can still change the wb shift when you have a custom profile selected. You just need to remember to change the wb shift if you change to another custom profile

[@Rich-y8n]

Hi. Is there any way to modify a film simulation recipe in-camera to enhance to boost a specific hue, such as greens or reds? I know that you can do that in-camera for Acros or Monochrome, but is there any way to do that for other simulations in-camera?

[@ika4001]

Thanks a lot

[@kaprodid4op769]

nice video and the tutorial, just wanna ask something, how about WB shift, do you use it in your recipes? especially in your urban mood. thank you

[@JayRegular]

if it isn't listed in my settings in the video then wb shift is on auto.

[@andyjack1974]

@@JayRegular Thanks for the quick reply. Playing around in X Raw studio and am lovin your settings. Keep the goodness coming! Inspirational

[@Alphard_adventures]

Have you got a link to your Snapseed presets please?

[@teal.photos]

Such a great job you’ve done! Thank you! I am a pro, so I am used to only use raw and lots of post processing, not because I want but because I need to. But, hey, I bought X100V for my own photos, to enjoy photography again, so I want to get deep into those great Fujifilm simulations that look so good! So, what I understood is that there are only 7 slots, these can be used EITHER as pre-filled with the Fujifilm standard simulations OR modified by the user, renamed etc. I mean, if I change slot no2 and put a recipe in it, I will not have Velvia available in camera any more unless I reset no2 back to it? I got it right? Or do we always have the 7 standard slots available, PLUS another 7 custom slots for recipes?

[@JayRegular]

There are only 7 slots in total to work with, if you apply a recipe to any of them you are not locked into using the film simulation for that recipe. You can change film simulations simply by going into IQ settings, and the current recipe parameters should be there for you to edit. Changing parameters will not be permanent, unless you resave the applied changes to the original custom slot the recipe was assigned to.

[@teal.photos]

@@JayRegular Jay, another question if you don’t mind... when I click to save a recipe from X Raw Studio to the camera, there are two options that you can tick. 1) Copy to camera setting and 2) Copy to camera custom setting. I understand the second one, but what exactly is the first one doing?

[@JayRegular]

From what I remember, one of them saves the recipes into Fuji raw studio (kind of like a preset), and the other saves the recipe to a camera custom slot

[@TaffyXZ]

@@JayRegular Hey Jay, does that mean if I were to save custom recipes I should save those to C2- C7 with C1 being the one with default factory settings? So if I want to use built in simulations I should cycle through it under C1? Hope you get what I mean, just got the X-Pro 3 and things can be a bit confusing switching from analog to this. Thanks!

[@JayRegular]

It would be a lot more convenient to go back to default settings if you leave c1 as it was when you first purchased the camera, but there are many film simulations to choose from so if say, you preferred astia over provia, you would still need to change c1 to astia as your "default" simulation

[@paulm8157]

Good tutorial, Jay. Much to mull over. Found what might be a “bug” unique to XT-4 - cam touch keyboard (when naming custom settings, e.g.) - letter “L” appears in uppercase only, even when typing in lower case mode. Only affects this letter, in my experience. Did you find the same? How can these custom profiles be imported into LR? Cheers!

[@JayRegular]

I've never given lower case naming before but I'll check it out. I'm also not sure how to import custom settings into lightroom, maybe there's a workaround that I have not looked into.

[@Jarg-d6l]

so if i save a custom setting am I overwriting one of the slots where my film simulatuions used to live?

[@fahrulrozi930]

Fujifilm x pro 3 please🙏🏻

[@Ben88163]

for the "urban mood" what did you set your colors to?

[@JayRegular]

If I didn't list colors, I didn't change it.

[@cameronginochiochess]

Is it possible to save specific auto iso settings to specific custom simulations on the x100v? Thank you!

[@JayRegular]

Not that I am aware of unfortunately

[@abjordan2217]

My Fujifilm xa7 doesn't have classic negative film simulation so for your Faux Jifilm what will be the settings

[@JayRegular]

It won't be exactly the same but you could use classic chrome

[@zellamakela7226]

Will this overwrite the original film sims that come on the camera?

[@hanslakuse9497]

Yes, it does. At least, that is my experience on the X100V and X-T4. Especially when you change the white balance and use the color shift.

[@Sticks55]

I guess the XT3 camera profiles don't show up or can't be saved in XRAW Studio? Only certain cameras?

[@JayRegular]

I haven't used an xt3, but that's kind of a bummer...

[@kvncnls]

omfg yessss, just what I needed! Edit: I just realized you put "Like, Comment Subscribe" on Custom Settings 1-3. 😂

[@JayRegular]

hahah nice one xD

[@Somemjf]

How many profiles can we save in camera?

[@TheMaddman187]

But those this overwrite the fujifilm built in simulations? How do i pick a new custom simulation and how do i go back to a built in simulation

[@JayRegular]

You will either need to leave a custom slot un-customized, or else you just need to go into IQ settings>Edit/save custom settings> Reset

[@jona4634]

What do you think about the grain setting?

[@JayRegular]

I have mixed feelings about the grain setting. If shooting above 1600 iso, the noise produced by the xtrans sensor looks grainy enough (in a good way), so having grain set to anything more than weak/small can be a bit too hectic, especially if you are using auto iso

[@ElevatedThreat]

My stupid question. Is it possible, through accident, to alter the settings to the DEFAULT profiles? I don't want to screw those up, trying to create a custom profile.

[@JayRegular]

You can always reset profiles to their default settings if you make a mistake

[@iamami23]

I noticed some of your pictures, especially the night time ones have a diffusion/bloom effect - Do you use a lens filter to achieve this or is it just because you turned the sharpness down in settings?

[@JayRegular]

Hey mate, I have a diffusion filter attached to the lens to give it that effect 👍

[@realiariel9430]

My question is how do I quickly change back to the completely original settings my X100V came with, do I just save one of the custom settings to the first film simulation without making any adjustments or is there a way to quickly go back to the “OG” camera settings. Thank you in advance.

[@JayRegular]

The original settings are just the film simulations with no extra iq setting tweaks. So you would have to have a custom slot without any changes to the iq settings.

[@alissafumagali1100]
