In short
The Fujifilm X100F can run recipes compatible with the X-Trans III sensor, such as those for the X-Pro2 and X-T2. It lacks newer features like Classic Negative and Eterna.
Why it's the recipe body
The Fujifilm X100F is a compact marvel in the X100 series, boasting a 24.3 MP X-Trans III sensor. This sensor generation introduced Acros, a favourite among black-and-white photography enthusiasts, but lacks some newer features like Classic Negative. The fixed 23mm f/2 lens offers a classic 35mm equivalent view, ideal for street and travel photography. Handling the X100F is a tactile delight, with its hybrid viewfinder and focus joystick making for intuitive shooting. The mechanical shutter speed of up to 1/4000s and electronic up to 1/32000s add versatility, ensuring that photographers can capture fast-moving subjects with ease.
The X100F supports X-Trans III recipes, which include Acros and other classic simulations. However, it lacks newer features like Classic Negative and cannot save white balance shift per custom slot. Recipe enthusiasts will appreciate its seven custom slots, perfect for experimenting with different looks. The absence of features like Colour Chrome Effect and Eterna means users should focus on recipes designed for the X-Trans III generation for optimal results.
The X100F marked a significant mid-cycle peak for the X100 series with its advanced features.
