All-Round Types - Reliable Expression for Any Scene

Fujifilm's film simulation is broadly categorized into two types: 'All-Round Types' and 'Individualistic Types.' The 'All-Round Types' are highly versatile simulations that can accommodate a wide range of subjects.

'PROVIA' and 'ASTIA' offer natural tones, making them perfect for capturing landscapes and portraits beautifully in any scene. These simulations are also easy to operate, even for those new to cameras.

Individualistic Types - Infusing Emotion into Photos

On the other hand, individualistic simulation types allow for expressions tailored to the photographer's emotions and the subject. Simulations like 'Velvia,' which emphasize vivid colors, give landscape photos a dramatic impression. Meanwhile, 'NOSTALGIC Neg.' features tones that evoke nostalgia and warmth, making it ideal for portrait photography.
