Fujifilm Recipes

Fujifilm recipes are created by customizing settings that control a variety of parameters, such as white balance, contrast, and sharpness. This level of customization allows you to get gorgeous images straight out of camera without spending hours editing in software.

Keep in mind that the recipes below are for the Fujifilm X-T5, but should also work on other Fuji camera models. I’d recommend researching each recipe to double check setting for your camera.
