Fujifilm Recipes

A free collection of Fujifilm film simulation recipes I've built over the years. These are my everyday settings for beautiful photos straight from camera, no editing needed.

More recipes coming soon. Feel free to use these for your own photography, and if you capture something you love, tag me @xere.my. I'd love to see what you create.

Fujifilm Film Simulation Recipes

Welcome to my collection of Fujifilm film simulation recipes. These are carefully crafted camera settings designed to produce stunning, film-like images straight out of the camera (SOOC). These recipes are compatible with Fujifilm's X-Trans IV and V sensors, including popular models like the Fujifilm X100VI, X-T5, X100V, X-M5, and X-E5. Whether you're shooting street photography, portraits, or landscapes, these settings eliminate the need for post-processing.

My recipes offer a variety of looks built on different film simulations. For warm, nostalgic tones, try 'Italian Summer', which is based on Classic Chrome. This recipe is perfect for coastal summer scenes and travel photography. In the same way, my 'Grain Noir' recipe utilizes the ACROS simulation to create rich black-and-white images with a deep tonal range, built specifically for moody street shots. For a more dramatic, vintage aesthetic, 'Classic Cinema' leverages the Classic Negative simulation to deliver a unique, cinematic feel.

Each recipe includes precise settings for white balance, color, highlights, shadows, and grain. Every parameter is optimized for specific lighting conditions, with options for golden hour, sunsets, daylight, and even indoor shooting. Feel free to explore the settings and adjust them to better suit your specific environment.

I also create video recipes for Fujifilm cameras. My configurations are designed for videographers who want cinematic, documentary-style footage without the need for color grading. Built on Classic Negative, these video recipes work beautifully on the X-T5, X100VI, and other X-Trans V bodies, delivering professional results instantly. When you do reach for an editing suite, my comparison of the best film emulation plugins for DaVinci Resolve covers the tools I use to match this look in post.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each recipe page provides the exact values for Simulation, White Balance, Dynamic Range, Color, Sharpness, and more. Simply go to your camera's IQ menu and save these settings into one of your Custom slots (C1-C7).
These recipes are primarily designed for X-Trans IV and X-Trans V sensors (such as the X-T5, X100VI, X-T4, and X-S20). Compatibility essentially depends on whether your camera model includes the specific Film Simulation required for the recipe (e.g., Classic Chrome, Classic Negative, or ACROS). While the core aesthetic remains consistent across models, some settings (like Color Chrome Effect Blue or Clarity) may not be available on older sensors. However, you can still achieve a very similar look by following the primary parameters on any Fujifilm body that supports the base simulation.
No! The goal of these recipes is to provide a SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) look that is already complete and ready to share, saving you hours of post-processing.
