AKXt2 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hello Everyone, I just picked up an XT2 and this is my first Fuji camera, really excited about using it. I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and reading forum post to familiarize myself with the camera and its settings. I am very impressed by the film simulations but really confused on how to use them in conjunction with RAW files. I was under the impression that if I shoot RAW+JPEG(Fine/Norma) with a film simulation selected (e.g. Chrome). Simulation is applied to JPEG only and RAW file is pure raw without any processing that I can edit however I want in post processing. But I took the camera out for the first time and realized the film simulation is applied to both JPEG and RAW. Is there a way to shoot with film simulation applied to JPEG but get unprocessed RAW files from XT2? Thanks for everyone's help in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The raw file has (at least) three components: - the raw data (which doesn't have any film simulation applied), - metadata which gives all sorts of information about the image including the film simulation in use when the image was taken - a preview image jpg that image viewers typically use when you look at the raw image (this has the film simulation applied). The raw file can be processed by a raw converter - Fuji and Adobe (amongst others) have raw converters that can apply any film simulation to the raw data - not just the simulation you used when shooting the image.
