Hello everybody,
This is my first post and I take this opportunity to wish all members of this forum an excellent 2026.
I’m new here and although I have been photographing for many years I’m new to Fuji cameras. I very recently acquired my first Fuji camera. A X-T30iii and I need some help.
I have a recipe saved on one of “C” slots in my new Fuji X-T30iii, based on Acros.
Image is set to F+Raw. Natural Live View is set to OFF, but I still see the colored image on the display, and it remains colored after taking the picture.
Which camera setting, if that's the problem, might be causing overriding to my film recipe?
The same thing is happening with recipes based on Classic Chrome. If I move the film simulation dial, I notice there is a shift in colors.
As far as I know, when using a recipe on a Fujifilm X series camera, you do not need to rotate the physical camera dial to a corresponding "film" or "film simulation" because the recipe you are using is applied and it overrides the standard profile. Am I wrong?
Can someone help ion this one?
Thank you in advance.
Pedro

I do not have a copy of this camera, but this page in the manual reads like you do have to change the dial to apply the custom settings, especially for the ACROS based simulation.

You are correct about other X series bodies (without the simulation dial) automatically applying the simulation chosen in the setup menus. Perhaps one of the Sim Dial users that show up here now and then will come across this posting and be able to help you.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.

      The film simulations dial over-rides everything else - if you want to use the custom settings (or use the menu to set film simulations) then you set the dial to “C” which essentially turns it off.

      Can't Assign Exposure Compensation To Rear Dial (W/ Lock On)

      By mjoseph67 · Posted

      Friends,    Happy New Year!   Two simple and perhaps rather silly questions: 1.) I cannot, for the life of me, change the rear command dial setting to control exposure compensation under particular conditions: my goal is lock the exposure compensation dial on the top and use the rear command dial to control exposure compensation. In the COMMAND DIAL SETTING MENU, I have the exposure compensation setting assigned, but ... no dice! 2.) And then, it is possible to have the exposure compensation "reset" when turning the X-T5 On/Off? If I have a value of -3 exposure compensation, for example, the camera "remembers" the value, and I have to re-zero the exposure compensation. Any help towards answering these two questions would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you friends and happy shooting! -M
