How to get the Fuji Classic Negative Look to your X-Pro2/X-T2

And save yourself to buy a new camera.

From what I’ve seen, the new Fuji Classic Negative film simulation is generous on the blue and green level, while remaining somewhat warm and keeping a low contrast.

Here is how to achieve this look.



1) Go in Image Quality (I.Q.) menu.

2) Select 400% dynamic range.

3) Select Classic Chrome film simulation;

4) Grain Effect at strong, just for the heck of it (to keep the “pure photography experience";

5) White balance: Auto, R: -2 B: +4

6) Highlight tone to 0;

7) Shadows tone to +0 (or -1 for the EXACT look, but I find it boring, so spice it up with +2)

8) Color to -1

9) Sharpness to -4

10) Noise Reduction to -4

11) Lens modulation optimizer OFF



Make sure to save all of that into a preset!

If you are shooting RAW, feel free to get your preset here. That’s what Fujifilm calls the “Classic Negative” look for your RAW files :).
