My X-T4 Film Simulation Recipes, Oct 2024
These are the recipes currently programmed into the memory banks of my X-T4.
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 recent post, “Which Film Simulation Recipes, When? — Part 2: X-Trans IV (2024 Edition).” I’ve altered a few settings from their original values as published, in which case the original values are given in parentheses.
