RAW without filmsim + JPEG with filmsim???

[Vincent J]

So I am wondering if I can, on my X-T2, shoot both RAW without film simulation on 1 card and JPEG with film simulation on the other card?

Of course Vincent. When you shoot RAW it is simply that - there are no film sims or any other info included such as white balance etc . So your RAW file will be "untainted" and you can add the film sims or not at your processing stage. Which leaves you to use whatever film sim you want for the JPG file, but that will be "burnt in" as well as white balance etc.

How come that when I shoot raw I can still apply film sims? And it shows in the playback?

Just tried and found out that the RAW image appears to have the film sim until it is imported into Lightroom, then for example Acros disappears... weird...

RAW file is a structured database which store some metadata in its fields. One of the field contains the name of the film sim. put there by the Fujifilm camera. When you open RAW file in let say Capture One it applies its own preset of this film sim. to the image you see on the screen. Don't know whether LR does the same or not but anyway LR paints the image accordingly to some algorithm.
So, what's bothered you in all this backstage bussines?

Want to shoot street photography in Acros but at the same time I want a RAW file as backup in case I want something else than Acros afterwards.

So set the camera that way - RAW + JPG and you'd get Acros gpeg and RAW which you can colour grade as you want later on.
