White balance shift (Red & Blue) is critical — missing it changes the whole film color palette.
Save recipes in custom slots (C1–C7) and configure the Q Menu for quick access in the field.
If your camera is an older sensor generation (X-Trans I/II/III), use our Cross-Sensor Converter to translate simulations to Classic Chrome with compensated tone curves.
X-T3 lacks Clarity and Classic Neg; X-T30 II includes both. X100VI and X-T5/X-T50 add Reala Ace.
Menu names vary slightly by model and firmware.
