Astia, Provia & Velvia Rendition in Fuji Line

<p>I am aware of the X series cameras having film rendition modes but is this the only series that offer this? Do any of their other cameras have this feature?</p>

<p>Yes, other cameras from Fuji have this option as well. Well, at least my Finepix F70EXR does, and it was manufactured before any of the X series cameras.</p>

<p>Unfortunately these modes look nothing like the films they're named after.</p>

<p>Thanks-- just curious. </p>

I have these on my XF1. I bought it in August, so of course, it's already obsolete. Still, I don't imagine these color things have changed too

much. Forget about film-like simulation. Think of them more as labels for different color behaviour by the camera. Decide which one you

want.

 

If it was me, I would not buy a camera on that basis. They are pretty meaningless.

As implied above, all the F and HS series cameras have this.

 

I'd say colors do look like the films, except Astia has more shadow contrast than the film. I find Astia useful for cloudy days - it warms up the color balance compared to Provia. I also like Velvia for autumn scenery and landscapes.

 

The X cameras with interchangeable lenses have even more film emulations, and the basic three seem somewhat different, but I cannot provide a summary.

<p>The X-Pro1 (and presumably others in the X series) have:</p>

<p>Standard (= Provia)<br>

Astia<br>

Velvia<br>

Pro negative, high contrast (= NPC 160)<br>

Pro negative, standard contrast (= NPS 160)<br>

B&W<br>

B&W with filters (yellow, green, red)<br>

B&W with sepia tone</p>

<p>I'm surprised no camera manufacturer includes B&W with yellow-green filter. That was one of the most used filters for film photography. </p>
