Dial-In Your Tones In-Camera
One of my favorite things about shooting Fujifilm is the film simulations built right into the camera. As the name implies, they simulate the look of classic color and black-and-white films, leveraging the company's deep knowledge of color science and experience in analog photography. Additionally, the X100V has a variety of settings you can tweak so you can personalize the film simulation specific to your photography style.
However, there is one catch: film simulations only apply to JPEGs. So for RAW shooters, I suggest shooting in JPEG + RAW, as this will allow you to get that film-like experience when shooting but still retain the flexibility to edit in post if the JPEG doesn't suffice.
If you're looking for a film simulation to try, here's my film simulation recipe:
1. Film Simulation: Classic Chrome
2. Grain Effect: Weak, Small
3. Color Chrome Effect: Strong
4. Color Chrome FX Blue: Weak
5. White Balance: Auto
6. White Balance Shift: R:2, B: -4
7. Dynamic Range: Auto
8. Tone Curve: Highlights -1, Shadows -1
9. Color: +2
10. Sharpness: -2
11. Noise Reduction: - 4
12. Clarity: 0
13. Long Exposure NR: On
14. Color Space: sRGB
