- Hey Y'all 👋🏿
Love it or hate it, the FUJI X-T50 is the first FUJI camera with its own film simulation dial. Personally I think it's dope, but it does come with some nuances when programming and using custom recipes. Here are my thoughts.

9:40 Final Thoughts and Outro
What do you think about using the film simulation dial with custom recipes on the FUJI X-T50? Are there any recipes I should try?
IMO, the film simulation dial works best with the Auto Mode. Let me explain why:
The biggest problem with using recipes is that they don't work for every scenario, especially those with strong characteristic, so I have to spend a lot of time changing the settings. As a comparison, the Auto Mode can automatically adjust settings very well, but the photos taken are always boring. The film simulation dial changes that, it really brings a lot of fun to the Auto Mode. Even with a specific scene chosen, I can still get different styles of photos by changing the film simulation. I used to own an X-T20 but never liked its Auto Mode. But this X-T50 is different. I think it changed the way I shoot a little bit in a good way. If you’re a casual photographer like me, try to rent an X-T50 and play it around. I think it makes photography more relaxing and enjoyable.
@@JackCl34232 Interesting 🤔 I might do a vid about just using auto mode
This was the clearest explanation of film sims and recipes together! Thanks!
I'm glad you think so! Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
As a someone new to the Fuiji family and a recent X-T50 purchaser this was just the tutorial I was searching for! Looking forward to more content on your tips and tricks for the X-T50! Subscribed.
That's awesome! I'm glad this video was helpful 🙌🏿 Welcome to the Fuji family and I hope you enjoy your X-T50!
Like a few others have said, I too have a new X-T50 and I'm new to Fuji as well so your videos have been invaluable. Especially helpful as I try to figure out the recipe stuff so thank you so much and you have another subscriber.
Thank you 🙏🏿 I'm glad you got some some value from this video. I'm fairly new to Fuji as well, so I'm still learning too
Thank you! That was super helpful. I've been shooting on Canon for years and I decided to pick up the X-T50 as my first Fuji camera, and using it has been like trying to speak a different language, but I'm sticking with it and I'm learning, and I find it a real joy to shoot with. Another RUclipsr said that you cannot save film recipes with the X-T50 but I think it's because he was turning the film simulation dial instead of saving custom settings, so I'm really glad I found your video today.
That's great! I'm glad I was able to help. Fuji cameras definitely aren't the most user-friendly, but they just have a feel to them that feels right. I still have a lot to learn about the X-T50 myself. Keep sticking with it 💪🏿
Thank you for this! This is our first camera and we learned a lot from your video! More of this please! ✌🏻
That's great! Congrats on the new camera and I'm glad this video helped out 🙌🏿
Great review!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the detailed info. I'm newer to Fuji. I have an X100 IR modded and an X100F I've played with but just ordered the X-t50 and needed the better explanation of the recipes vs simulations. You came through.
That's great! I'm glad this video was helpful. Thanks for watching 🙏🏿
@@BrayGrayy How did you remap the button by the viewfinder? Been looking through the menu and can't track it down
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
No problem. I hope it was helpful 🙏🏿
not me watching this and not even having a fuji camera 😆
Haha, you don't have a Fuji camera... yet 😏
@@BrayGrayy You're not wrong! hahaha
Great to see some XT50 videos, if you could do one about using Xapp to transfer pictures to phone would be very useful. Thanks again
Thank you!! That's a good idea 🤔
Mannn! Thanks a lot for this video.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏿
Before anybody comes for me lol.. (Former X-T30 owner, current X-Pro 1 owner, former X-T4 owner, current X-T5 owner) That film simulation dial will be a thing of the past, QUICK ! Especially w/ Panasonic giving it's users the app workflow, to store and transfer, up to THIRTY - NINE simulations (LUTS) on the camera. Been using it on the S9 and it's genius. Can be setup and transfered in seconds. Anyway, nice video man...and SUBSCRIBED !
I dont think that its thing of the past just def needs more customizability.
@@frmtheden I think it's one and done. The ceiling is capped on it. Think about it, you can only have 6 simulations up there...
@@TopshelfJuniorbut I think with future iterations and possible saves to it, I don’t think on average anyone needs much more. I definitely don’t need an ISO dial I’m so used as the front command being my iso that it works perfectly. I’ve found myself getting pictures straight out of camera more from using Film Sims then exploring on post in LR not to mention LR doesn’t have the in camera presets option only Capture One and LR classic so having them mobile saves me a lot of time
Had the S9 been in the style of a Fuji I would have been tempted. Panasonic missed a trick using PASM. A retro S9 would be very tempting due to LUTS, as a long time recipe user I find the adjustments available a bit limiting on a Fuji.
Hi. I've just git the x-t50 and can't figure out how to use film simulations for Video. For pictures easy. But once I switch to video, that Film Sim dial doesn't work. Thanks
Thanks!
No, thank you! 🙏🏿
I don't use the camera to add recipes, I upload them from Fujifilm X RAW Studio. It means you can test and experiment with the recipe using your existing RAF files before going out and shooting with it. It also means you can have *many* more than 7, uploading your favourite 7 to the camera. I shoot raw+jpeg so I always have a copy of the RAF file to go back to and try out different recipes with it in Fujifilm X RAW Studio.
Note: Capture One only simulates the cameras Fujifilm Film Simulations, it was good enough, however the only way to get an *exact* match to the output you get from your camera is to either use the in-camera raw processing or use Fujifilm X RAW Studio as it uses the camera itself to output the jpeg, not external raw processing software like Capture One and Lightroom etc.
Fujifilm X RAW Studio needs a complete rewrite though, it is slow, clunky to use and not very intuitive for new users. If Fujifilm released Fujifilm X RAW Studio for smartphones, that would be great.
Ah, thanks for the info! I hadn't heard of Fuji X Raw Studio. I might give it a go and try to add my own custom recipes.
@@BrayGrayy
Keep your expectations low, it's awful to use!
Thanks for the great video! Do you know if I can shoot in raw and then apply different simulations/recipes in a photo editing app? Instead of making all adjustments on the camera itself.
You can change the film simulations (not custom recipes) if you edit in Capture One. I'm not sure about Lightroom
A very great video and explanation , i have a quick question i just purchased the Xt-50 and trying to record a video but failing and the movie mode on is grey.. how can i record a video ?
Thanks! Hmm, I'm not sure why the movie mode would be greyed out. I actually haven't used video on the X-T50 yet
Nice video. I am a new Fujifilm X-T50 user and this is a great content. Just one quick question. What is that lens you are using on your X-T50?
Thanks! That lens is the Fuji 16mm f2.8
@@BrayGrayy awesome. what is your opinion of the 16mm f2.8 vs the kit lens xf 16-50 f2.8-4.8
This was super helpful thank u, where did u get that red button for shooting?
Awesome! I'm glad it was helpful. I got the shutter button from Amazon
Wow great description...I'm on the market to buy such camera. May I ask you which is the lens you're using with this camera ? thanks a lot. Have fun and take care. Christian
Thank you 🙏🏿 The lens in the video is the Fuji 16mm f2.8, but if you want a more compact setup I also have the Fuji 27mm f2.8 or the Voigtlander 27mm f2 (manual focus). Lastly, I have the Viltrox 56mm f1.4 for some distance and portraits
@@BrayGrayy Thanks so much for your prompt reply. that's very kind of you. A warm hello from Emilia Romagnia Italy
Do you recommend the Fuji X Weekly subscription?
Only if you consistently find that there are recipes you want that you can't get with the free version. That being said... the subscription still seems pretty affordable.
@@BrayGrayy yeah $20 for a year isn’t bad at all, especially for the convenience it brings
Hello! I don't want to shoot in Auto mode and want my film settings, that's why i start by putting the C in the film simulation dial... but it says it's STD even though it's on C... Even when i select "nothing selected" i have STD in my C instead of no simulation at all. So when i select my C1 (portra 400 for example) I'm not sure it's using Classic chrome over STD... idk if I'm making myself clear
Yes, I think I'm following. If you set your dial to C and you have "nothing selected" for custom settings, it should say STD (that's just the basic look). As far as checking your film sim when in C1, you can press the Q button to check and make sure you're on your desired film sim. Also (as a pro tip), I went in my settings and told the X-T50 to display the film sim label on the screen while I'm shooting so I can be sure it's the right one. I hope that helps.
Also, how do I get that shutter button you have on your X-T50? It looks damn cool compared to the stock shutter button.
You can find them on Amazon. I got a 2 pack for like $11
@@BrayGrayy thanks a lot. Possible to share the amazon link to yours here?
hi sir. does your battery drain fast? or its normal for new camera and battery too charge 2-3 times before its full power?
I haven't had any issues with the battery life
@@BrayGrayy does you knew how lonmg does its last your battery? idont know because its my first time using camera and its seem drain fast!
@@chaitong6264 In my last vid, I shot at the Japanese garden for well over an hour in the hot sun and I still had a little battery life to spare. I imagine if you shoot in cooler environments it should last longer. Maybe you just got a bad battery. That's happened to me before with my Sony cameras
You may have any or all of BT, WiFi, and Phone Location Data sync enabled which could be additional drain on your battery life. Great vid @BrayGray! Just got the X-T50, my first Fuji camera. Can I ask what soft shutter button you have on?
@@d3vz3r0 Thank you and congrats on getting your first Fuj! This is the shutter button I'm using a.co/d/08HTetwT
When I go to the film simulation it does not show “off” for me. Am I doing something wrong? My film dial is on C.
@@147rambo If you're programming your first recipe, you won't see the "off" option. Once you program your first one (C1-C7) that option should appear.
i have tried everyyyything and i cant find ANY custom recipes 😭
Cant change dynaymic range :-( it dont appears in the simulationon Menu pressing de button
Make sure you're not switched to auto on the shutter speed dial. Then you should see the dynamic range setting
@@BrayGrayy thank you
Can you do slow motion videos with this camera?
Yes! 4K up to 60fps and 240fps in Full HD
I can't find the “select none/off “ on my film scrolling wheel
Are you referring to the custom setting selector for recipes? If so, the setting doesn't work if you're shooting full auto
@@BrayGrayy explain it a little more dummy way for me cause I thought I was shooting manual, I’m used to Sony that’s my first FujiFilm camera
@@xclusive_himself I have the same Problem, He is talking about the first step in 3:55 where you select Film Simulation OFF, I don't have the off option
I don't get the off option too, He is talking about the first step in 3:55 where you selected off in that option
@@marintiasinaimercadoascenc7072 Ah, I think I understand now. If you haven't set ANY custom settings (meaning C1-C7 haven't been set), you won't see it because it's already starting from the neutral point. The 'off' or 'nothing selected' will show up once you've programmed your first custom setting.
Thank you for the informative video! As a happy X-T50 user, it’s great to see other photographers with this camera enjoy it for what it is: dedicated film sim dial and all 🙂 Also, have you seen and/or tried Ritchie’s bonus recipes hack? I haven’t yet - mostly because I’m not sure I fully understand the directions! ruclips.net/video/WfjGeQnAhBM/видео.html
Thank you! I'm really enjoying the X-T50. I actually HAVEN'T seen this recipe hack! I'll have to check it out and give it a try 🙌🏿
