In short
The X100V supports all X-Trans IV film-simulation recipes. Early X-Trans IV bodies lack Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue, but the X100V includes these features.
Why it's the recipe body
Shooting with the Fujifilm X100V is an experience that merges classic design with modern innovation. With its 26.1 MP X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4, the X100V offers superb image quality straight out of camera. This compact, weather-sealed companion is perfect for street photographers, equipped with a newly designed 23mm f/2 lens that delivers sharp, vibrant results. The hybrid viewfinder offers the flexibility of optical or electronic views, and the tilting touchscreen simplifies creative framing. This camera feels like a natural extension of your vision, making it an ideal tool for those passionate about capturing life's fleeting moments.
The X100V's X-Trans IV sensor supports all film-simulation recipes introduced with this generation, including Classic Negative and Eterna. Unlike earlier X-Trans IV bodies, the X100V features Clarity, Grain Size, and Colour Chrome FX Blue. Keep in mind that white-balance shift settings cannot be saved per custom slot, limiting some creative flexibility.
The X100V revitalised the X100 Series with new optics and weather sealing, setting a modern standard.
