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...

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

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. 😮‍💨🥳 👍

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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

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.

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

I like the video, but I find the music a bit distracting. You're hard to understand sometimes.

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.

Good video so if u use this camera 📷 flash at night 🌃 how is it ?

Hey great video. In my opinion film simulations are way too overrated by Fuji users. I still shoot RAW + JPEG with my XE4 because I can recover highlights and shadows. Knowing that I can get a better image I don’t see the sense of shooting only JPEG. That’s only a miss opportunity as you said in your video.

Have you tried the high speed flash sync? It's the true photographers geek feature, I never shoot in raw with my Fuji's, I do use the film sim. bracketing ocasionally though, it's faster to delete than edit, which I'm tired of doing. I have the old x100S, still waiting for the VI, fun channel, I'm interested in seeing what you come up with.

Of course they are!!!! (usable)

The real question is, how did you manage to get a hold of the GLORIOUS X100vi????
