XT5 setup F+Raw and Recipes

[Chris.Massa]

New to fuji.

Do recipes effect the RAW image?

If I want to optimize the camera for RAW is there an IQ setup, zero all the settings? then save that to a custom settting like C7. 

 

thanks

Hi Chris. The settings, such as a recipe, will affect the JPG preview/thumbnail that is saved with the raw image. Also, if you import your raw images into Lightroom you can "develop" the raw with the camera settings which will give you something similar to what it looked like in the camera with the recipe. It won't be exactly the same as Lightroom doesn't have the exact same film simulations.

The IQ (recipe) settings do not affect RAW files except for the Dynamic Range (DR) setting, which may force a higher ISO (DR200 requires base ISO x 2, DR400 requires base ISO x 4). Since a basic exposure parameter is affected, this does propagate to the RAW file. Please note that as mentioned above, Lightroom's Camera Profiles for the X-T5 do have film sims but (a) they're not necessary exactly the same as the built-in ones, and (b) they do not account for the other IQ settings such as tone and clarity. Those you will have to apply to the RAW file yourself in Lightroom. Capture One seems to have the closest approximations of the Fuji film sims, but again, you have to apply the other settings using the software sliders. If you're interested in keeping everything 100% Fuji, try the Fuji X RAW Studio software, which lets you play around with all of the IQ settings on your computer (but you do have to have your camera plugged in and USB set to BACKUP mode). This is the software a lot of people use to design new recipes.
