    Fujifilm Simulation KODAK TRI-X 400

    When I was on vacation up in Townsville a few months ago I decided to try out some film simulations. Below is few examples of the KODAK TRI-X 400.

    Surprisingly good for straight of the camera. The settings are below.

    Acros (+Y, +R, +G)
    Dynamic Range: DR200
    Highlight: 0
    Shadow: +3
    Noise Reduction: -4
    Sharpening: +1
    Clarity: +4
    Grain Effect: Strong, Large
    Color Chrome Effect: Strong
    Color Chrome Effect Blue: Off
    White Balance: Daylight,+9 Red & -9 Blue
    ISO: ISO 1600 – 12800
    Exposure Compensation: +1/3 to +1 (typically)

    Fujifilm film simulations is one of the features that attracted me to the camera system last year.

    Here is a very in-depth article about everything you wanted to know about the subject of film simulations.

    Christmas Eve – Brisbane

    Still continuing with my experiment with Fujifilm X-T3.

    This is the first urban evening shoot with this camera and I was pleased with the result. I have also been experimenting with film simulations, so as a record for myself and also for anyone interested I thought I would post some pics with the recipe.

    This is based on the Astia film simulation.

    Astia – Urban

    • Dynamic Range = 100
    • D Range Priority = Off
    • Fil Simulation = Astia/Soft
    • Grain Effect = off
    • Color Chrome Effect = Weak
    • White Balance Custom = R +1
    • Highlight Tone = -2
    • Shadow Tone = -2
    • Color = +2
    • Sharpness = +3
    • Noise Reduction = -3

    • Fujifilm X-T3
    • XF 23 f2 R WR
    • hand held – no tripod

    A great camera to walk atound with, and for jpg straight out of the camera a great result.

    I have the camera setup to shoot REW + JPG, the film simulations only work on the jpg, I keep te raw for a just in case I want a different look.

    It’s now been 2 months with this camera and I have made the decision to sell off my Canon gear. Since I am not a high end proffesional shooter, this camera does a very good job at a moderate price, and is a bit smaller and lighter to carry around.

    I will keep playing around with these film simulations as I think if you can get one that you like it will save having to do post processing alot of the time.

    Untill next time.
