My X-E3 Film Simulation Recipes, Oct 2024
These are the recipes currently programmed into the memory banks of my X-E3.
Most of these are new to me and I’m just entering them into my camera now. The list is mostly based on Ritchie’s post, “The Essential 7 Film Simulation Recipes to Program Into Your Fujifilm Camera First — Part 4: X-Trans III.”
Note: White balance settings are global on the X-E3.
