Video looks washed out / film simulation unavailable when shooting video.

[TheGreenMan]

I'm sure it's some stupidly simple setting somewhere but when I shoot video on my new to me X-T2 it looks washed out or grey. I figured it was some setting and tried everything I could think of.

Nothing worked. The last thing I tried was film simulation. But that option is unavailable. It is greyed out / I can not access that menu in any way while shooting video.

So two questions that may or may not be related: How to access film simulation while shooting video and what would be causing the washed out video?

Thanks.

Edit, I don't know if it matters byt when shooting video under the Q menu only the white balance, sharpness, face detection and lcd brightness are accessible.

It looks like you have the camera configured for F-LOG which was introduced with firmware version 4.1

Here is a link to the manual update which includes a description of the F-LOG settings:

That was it. Thanks! I figured it was something simple that I missed.

The F-log format looks interesting. I'll have to mess with it some now.
