FUJIFILM's unique Film Simulation modes
A total of 16 Film Simulation options are available, producing rich colors and tones that reflect your creative intentions just as if you were swapping between different types of photographic films. This is a function exclusive to FUJIFILM, developed with the company’s color presentation philosophy and know-how perfected over 80 years of manufacturing photographic film. Diverse options available include PROVIA and VELVIA, named after FUJIFILM’s own photographic films, as well as ETERNA, which emulates the tones of motion pictures, CLASSIC CHROME, suitable for documentary photos, as well as two types of monochrome filters including ACROS.
PROVIA
This is a standard option that caters to a variety of situations. It delivers radiant skin tones and vibrant colors in what FUJIFILM calls “memory colors”, exactly as you remember them.
VELVIA
This option is characterized with high saturation combined with memory colors. It is perfect for landscape and wildlife photographs with rich blues and vivid primary colors, or for night scenes thanks to its deep blacks.
ASTIA
This option offers soft tones and high saturation at the same time, showcasing radiant skin tones and smooth gradation. It is ideal for outdoor portraits, when you want to ensure vibrant tones in the background.
CLASSIC CHROME
This option adds an air of profound depth to pictures with subtle colors and muted tones. It is designed primarily to create a unique atmosphere, reminiscent of vintage reversal films.
ACROS (+ Ye/R/G FILTER)
This is a monochrome option, designed in pursuit for fine textures, deep blacks and rich gradation. It offers the benefit of providing fine details at low ISOs and graininess at high ISOs.
PRO Neg. Hi
This option creates high-contrast portraits even in overcast outdoor conditions or indoor situations with flat lighting. It is characterized by natural skin tones, setting it apart from other options that provide memory colors.
PRO Neg. Std
This option produces realistic and natural skin tones in portraits shot under controlled lighting. Its softer and gentler tones with low saturation create snapshots with a difference
ETERNA
This option is characterized with subdued colors and smooth halftones in shadows, creating the atmosphere of motion pictures.
Special effects that enhance your photographic expressions even further
The FUJIFILM X-T30 offers various effects that can be combined with Film Simulation modes to enhance creative flair in color tones and gradations. The special effects available include the Color Chrome effect, which produces deeper colors and gradation in subjects that contain highly saturated colors, which are notoriously difficult to photograph. The Monochrome Adjustment function faithfully reproduces warm and cool blacks in digital photos, which used to be achieved with specific photographic papers and developers. The Grain effect adds graininess, typically seen in film-based pictures, to digital photos to create an analog-like texture. The camera also provides means of adjusting highlight tones, shadow tones, sharpness and other properties.
