X-T5 film simulation recipes
The whole recipe bank, for the X-T5 — the body every recipe here was built and measured on. Each recipe is traced back to the film it emulates and the datasheet it came from.
This is the reference body. Every setting in the bank was chosen on an X-T5 and checked against film scans on an X-T5, so nothing here is a port or an estimate for it. Its processor is also what unlocks the controls the recipes depend on: Grain Size, Color Chrome FX Blue, Clarity, Nostalgic Neg. and the Reala Ace simulation. How sensor generation decides compatibility.
Reala Ace needs firmware 4.00 or later, released June 2024. Below that the simulation is not on the camera, and any recipe built on it needs its documented fallback. Check under MENU → USER SETTING → FIRMWARE.
