In short

The GFX100S supports Fujifilm's film simulations shared with X-Trans bodies. Recipes align by film simulation name.

Why it's the recipe body

The GFX100S, with its 102 MP Bayer sensor, offers a unique medium-format experience packed into a DSLR-like body. Its compact design doesn't compromise on the expansive detail and dynamic range, offering a tactile and immersive shooting experience. The X-Processor 4 ensures smooth handling and swift performance, making it a joy to capture stunning images. With the G-mount, it accommodates a range of lenses, enhancing creative possibilities. This camera brings Fujifilm's renowned film simulations to life, rendering them beautifully across its large sensor, making every shot a canvas of colour and detail. The robust build and intuitive control layout further elevate its usability, making it a versatile tool for photographers seeking high resolution and creative control in a portable package.

The GFX100S runs Fujifilm's film simulations, offering compatibility with recipes shared across X-Trans bodies by simulation name. This ensures a broad palette for creativity, allowing photographers to craft distinct looks straight out of camera. Remember, features like Clarity adjustments and Grain Size are not available on this body. However, white balance shift settings can be saved to custom slots for added convenience, enhancing the shooting experience.

The GFX100S redefined portability in the medium-format segment, offering high resolution in a smaller body.

Compared to the GFX100, the GFX100S is more compact yet retains the same sensor performance.
