Ok so I’ve now used this recipe for multiple parties and… I am obsessed with it. This is exactly what I was looking for. This will live permanently on my x100v as a setting.
happy to hear that!
Can I see the results for that!?
really great video, you provided incredibly useful information, didn't take 30 minutes to explain it and still provide your personal insights that added value to the explaination. I'm glad I found this and have subscribed. Also appreciate your photography and showing it throughout to further illustrate the effects and how to achieve them. Thank you!
Thank you, comments like this are what make all the effort worth it, very much appreciated ❤️ have a great day 😌
Going to a big party tonight with these flash settings on! Woohoo! Thanks for sharing your hot tips!
Thank you for this quality content! You didn't fill it with fluff and it was straight to the point with lots of added value.
ahh im really glad to read this cause I was worried I was waffling on about film cameras for too long I the beginning haha. thanks so much for the feedback!
Yes exactly no fluff , also love the accent
I keep it on all the time at it lowest power setting, and you get nice fill without that flash look. The leaf shutter makes that little flash far more powerful outside than its standard shutter counterpart camera.
will definitely give that a try, never thought to do that! thank you
How do you set it at the lowest power?
@@punit213
1. Go to menu and find the flash symbol.
2. Go to flash function setting.
3. Put it on ttl mode.
4. Set it to rear sync
5. And you will see next to the letters ttl a choice between -2.0 to +2.0
6. Set it to -2.0 and that will do quite well for indoor situations where you just need a little flash fill like if someone is wearing a hat. From there you will learn to adjust it and get better using the flash.
6. Now the flash only works in single mode shot. And the bracket modes. Well at least film simulation mode, haven’t used the others.
7. Also make one the buttons a dedicated flash control so you can quickly change the power output or just turn it off for certain situations.
Hope this helps!
@@WhoIsSerafin you’re awesome! Thank you so much!
@@WhoIsSerafin wow not going to lie, I didn't really follow but after doing it, you right, the photos flash look way more flushed out
Mate, honestly, I use my X100V primarily to take photos of my kids and and when I’m with mates. I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with these settings! I’ve been looking for it for so long!
I have to say this is exactly what i was looking for! Right now i love bringing a disposable point and shoot out to parties to get quick portraits, but costs add up. It looks like this technique contains everything great about the old film cameras: one mode, quick capture, works in a dark setting. Thank you!
no problem! glad you found it informative 😁
Omg thank you so much for sharing! I was looking for a recipe that fits the photos with flash and the skintones. Love it!
You’re welcome! Glad you’re enjoying it 😁 thanks for watching
YT had a column at the top that said "NEW FOR YOU" so I clicked it.. Your video was there, this one.. Watching it.. SUBSCRIBED !
Thanks very much for checking it out!
Playing a show tomorrow and wanted to get some fun point and shoot pictures with friends and people in the venue. I rarely shoot flash but now I wanna try it out.
Great video with exactly all the infos I needed. Thanks :)
Thanks for checking it out! hope the show went well?!
im still obsessed with this recipe! i use it as my daily driver for neirly every situations. thanks!
So happy to hear that man! You're welcome 😁
Just bought my first Fuji and was looking for that point-and-shoot look but you taught me about so many other cool little settings! Great video!
Happy to help!! I appreciate the comment ☺️ enjoy your fuji!
I’ve owned this camera since the day it was released and learned so much from this video. I’ll be trying these settings out to see what I can shoot! Those images were insane!
so happy to hear that! and thanks very much :)
The RAW conversion is new to me!!!!
Cool. finally a well explained use of X100V.s flash
thanks for watching :)
I just ordered the last X100V from my camerastore. So lucky but now i have to wait 3 weeks to get to try this recipe out. I´m so stoked :D
Late to the party but thanks for this! Got the xpro 3 2 years ago which i love but not having a built in flash is a disaster for party's etc. Its heavy enough as is. Just ordered the x100VI and was looking at the performance of the x100v built in flash. This was very helpful!
No problem at all! Pretty sure the built in flash on the VI will work identical to this one 😁
To add to other commenters, the recipe is amazing and managed to trick everyone thinking its shot on actual film. The only thing I seem to notice is that it looks like lomochrome Metropolis film stock a lot, so I wonder if its possible to tone down Greens and oranges and get it looking more like flash kodak gold, if that is possible? Thank you so much for this!!!
I get what you mean! I'll keep experimenting and see what I can do! I think Classic Negative in general has a very lomo feel to it straight out the box. Maybe a Classic Chrome recipe might be a better look for a Kodak feel. I'm going to try changing the sim to chrome and maybe tweak from there... will post results once ive found something!
@@EddyMaynard A classic chrome recipe would be incredible! im trying this on an X70 but without classic negative... so im not sure how to tweak it for classic chrome. Thank you so much for your amazing videos!!
I used this and the photos came out incredible! Thanks so much. I feel like my photos come out super sharp though at 1m to 3m autofocus range. I was wondering how you got yours to be less sharp?
Love this video, I definitely want to take these settings on a night out and use the OVF only to really get that point & shoot feel, the range limiter setting is a great idea for this
Thank you!
Yeah the OVF works really well with this because of the camera settings being really dark at night before the flash.
Alternative to the range limiter is to use manual focus too but I find myself always knocking the focus ring so this makes it easier haha.
OVF was the only way to use it for me at night. It was easy for my non photog friends taking photos too. Such a sick time!!! Thanks Eddy!
Gosh I love a good flash on camera excellent stuff🌸✨
me too! thanks so much for watching
@@EddyMaynard absolutely! solid video.
Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been experimenting and have had some great, but inconsistent results. Can’t wait to try this!
Very glad to hear that! Hope its working out okay for ya :)
Sick monstera, sick video, sick settings. Good shit dude!
Thanks so much!!
Got the monstera at the beginning of lockdown 2020 when it was about 20cm high, so crazy how big it is now haha!
Thanks for watching 😌
I appreciate this video I don’t have the x100V but I have the x-t30ii and I’m going to try this out. Your vid and pics are🔥
Hi mate, how it went with the xt30ii ? I'm about to buy one but I really want to be sure that I'll be able to shoot with the flash and get more or less the same results as the pics shot on the x100v, cheers
Subscribed before the video even really started. Those shots are worthy of a sub.
Thank you so much!
Never knew about the push/pull options - great video : )
Thanks very much for watching! 😁
Very tempted to get am x100
Will definitely try your settings bc my flash pictures always look digusting thank u for this video very helpful!
yeah I've definitely taken some pretty awful flash pics when I was testing settings haha. I think the key is overexposing the flash! glad you found it helpful :)
Thanks for sharing. I need this!
my new favourite camera channel!
Thank you so much!
Cool, please morning and noon setting point and shoot
I just order that tiny flash Fuji makes for my xt5… I am planning on pairing it up with a disposable camera lens that was put into the lens cap ;) . Wish me luck
awesome! sounds fun, let me know how it goes, good luck!
Thanks. Had the camera for over a year and learned so much. Great vid
so happy to hear that frank, hope you get some great shots!
Hahaha big up the Poundland Vista 200 and the Asda developing combo. That was all I did too. Asda charged £3.50 for developing and a CD (no prints), and that was if the roll came back full. If it only had, say 10 photos that weren't black or too dark out of the full roll, the woman would charge us around £1.50 - £2.50 (amount of visable shots depending). No more than £4.50 to shoot a roll and develop it; that shit was taken for granted haha
oioioi, those were the days. looking back now the scans are pretty terrible hahaha but it was so much fun not having the financial burden every time you pressed the trigger
eddy I love this recipe. It could serve with the same values but in black and white? Thanks! 🙌🏻 i love your channel 🫀
hello! yes absolutely! or i have another recipe, eddys everyday mono, which works well with the same flash settings :) its on my channel
In case your wondering why the x100v flash photos looks so good, or more importantly why its one of the few digtial cameras with an on camera flash that looks good, it's because the camera has a leaf shutter, allowing it to sync with the flash.
I want to get the xt30 ii mainly for its interchangeable lenses but was worried the pictures taken with flash won't look the same as the x100v as it has a focal-plane shutter and not a leaf shutter. Is the difference really that noticeable?
@@ardabldc not if you get a good quality off camera flash that can sync with the xt30
Great video!! Finally was able to get the flash to behave how I wanted :) Looking forward to future content from you!
thanks so much! glad you found it helpful :)
Yo just found this channel when searching for how the X100V's flash works and if i should switch to this system. And now - well thank you for pushing me over and going on a hunt for the camera! Subscribed and love your stuff!
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!! Hope you enjoy the x100 when you get your hands on one!
Great tutorial. What exposure should we set it to?
sadly the 100f doens't have classic negative and the af range limited isn't available either :/
dien't know about the pull function in camera tho, this was very helpful
Dont worry about the AF range, you can always just set manual focus to 1m at f5.6 or something :)
you can get Classic Negative in Lightroom for older cameras using this method

Really appreciate your video man ❤️
No problem! have a great week :)
it's like you unlocked a whole new camera
Definitely a different way to shoot with it 🤘🏻 feels good to be able to use it as a point and shoot for relaxed stuff with friends and also be able to flip it into full manual when you want to be creative
this film sim is great even without a flash!
Thank you!
Great video man thanks for sharing your recipe excited to try this out on parties 🙌🏼!
Thanks for watching! Happy shooting 😌
awesome video mate, you've just been suggested. Easy sub! I used an XE4 with a flash on top and love it! Sounds like you're from around my way to btw!
thanks very much mate I appreciate it!
what flash are you using? I got a lightpix labs one but not used it all that much cause it doesn't always sync well (its wireless), and its embarrassing when it happens on a job hahaha... so just stuck with the built in.
up the north east oioioi ❤
This is super helpful! Could never get the settings right on the X100T, will defo try these out now :)
glad you found it helpful! :)
im having trouble getting similar results with the x100f, is there anything i should do differently or change?
Thanks for this !
Awesome video!
thank you!
Great video! Thanks for the tips 🙌
you're welcome! glad you enjoyed it
really nice thank you sm 🔥
no problem! thanks for watching :)
Hey Eddie since you are the master of this camera on youtube could you make a video, or at least let me know how to autofocus in the dark? I get a bunch of blurry photos and the autofocus completely shuts off when it's too dark, but I know I must have some setting wrong.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
2 things you could do
First, try aiming for points with contrast, for example, the edges of things, if you're trying to focus on a blank space like a big wall or something like that, it will struggle even in good light!
Secondly, if you were still struggling you could get a single flash trigger that can fire an autofocus beam, this is typically a red laser grid that helps the camera focus. I used to have a yongnuo 622c that did this, and it was pretty handy even when i wasnt using flash! Not sure if theyre compatible with the fuji system though, this was back when i was shooting canon.
Hope this helps!
does the square hood lens cast a shadow when using the flash? I am looking at both the hoage and the square hood mk iiii
It does a little bit yes at the bottom of the frame. It’s not the worst and sometimes I just deal with it, but it’s definitely there. I bought the hoage filter adapter ring and I swap the square hood out for the adapter ring when I’m using flash!
Alternatively, look into an external flash - the flash q q20ii is good! There’s a link in description if you wanna take a look
Damn you gave hella tips. Preciate you bro 👊🏾🔥 and dope shots
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful
Liked and subscribed. Awesome video, I recently started using the on camera flash with CNeg, it’s so good! Thanks for the recipe and focusing tips ✌🏽.
thanks man I appreciate that!
happy shooting :)
Wanting this camera more and more by the day. Class vid as always, lil production bits don't go unoticed i.e 0:24
thank you man! appreciate that :)
@@EddyMaynard finally got my hands on one, currently binging all of your X100 videos so I can forget how much money I just parted with
This is awesome, thanks!!! 👌🏻
Thanks for watching! 😊
Wicked, love your flash pics 😊
thanks very much man!
Nice vid, man!Love the photos
thanks so much!
Enjoyed this immensely. Can the recipes be saved somehow in the X100V so you can just switch it on or do you have to manually rest everything every time?
They can be saved! If you scroll to the bottom of the menu where you input the recipes, there’s the option to save them to one of the c1-c7 custom settings. Id reccommend keeping c1 as standard for if you ever want to shoot without a recipe
1:49 My observations viewing on HP Dream Color monitor; It's close for digital but it still has common digital issues on the right.
1. Digital is crushing black/shadow detail
2. Black/shadow on digital looks more lifeless and just black. On 35mm there is a warmness to it. On digital the entire look isn't as cohesive because you have those crushed blacks while the face has more saturated look to it and that throws things off because her hair doesn't have detail and it just black. Film has these nuances that all add up to a more cohesive picture.
3. Highlights/skin tones are much more pleasing on film. Digital's weak point are highlights that abruptly clip and look bad as soon as anything hits white unlike film there is no gradual overload to white so it has a disadvantage of trying to mimic that bright 'on camera flash look'.
Still looks good but one of those things where the differences are obvious once you compare to film but by itself it holds up better.
Love it! Thanks Eddy
thanks for watching!
Hi! I really love your film simulation, but sometimes skin tones are so dark. Kinda orangey or brown. What do I need to change for it to make skin looks natural? Thanksss
Great video, im wondering if those settings would work on a Sony RX100 VII?
the general settings should still apply yes!
@@EddyMaynardthank you 🙏
Your definitely right no flash no party wth are Sony etc doing no apsc or compact full frame available with 4k 60p and built in flash I don't want to stick another accessory on my camera
This is great. Thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Is that Jayda G you’re friends with?! Queen
I just met her at a festival! 😊
Tried this recipe for the first time last night. worked great on my xt30ii...I don't see what difference the leaf shutter makes in this scenario as some people mentioned
Glad to hear that! Regarding the leaf shutter - most cameras can sync flash up to around 1/250th of a second, any faster than that and the flash only fills some of the frame (much like if you've ever shot at a high shutter speed in strobe lighting) and the rest of the photo is dark, as the camera didn't finish the exposure before the flash ended (ive not explained this well I know but I hope you get what im saying).
A leaf shutter is much faster than a 'normal' shutter so you can take flash photos with shutter speeds up to 1/1000 (I think, it may be faster) and the flash will fill the entire photo, like it should. This is great for if you want to cut out stuff like daylight, and still use the flash. You can use higher shutter speeds but still get the same amount of light added from the cameras flash.
TL;DR slower than 1/250th of a second it wont make any difference :)
@@EddyMaynard that makes a lot of sense, I was confused since you were shooting around 1/60 in the video for the motion blur point and shoot vibes. For people's use case like this though I definitely recommend the Xt30ii (or regular...or 20) as well! I've never thought to use built in flash before on digital but now glad i have it for family snaps when it's dark.
Trank u mate❤
Thanks so much for sharing such detailed tips. I just gave it a try and found I ended up with lots of noise. Can this be improved? Thanks.
Take off the grain setting (change it to ‘off’) and shoot below iso 1600 if you want no grain!
I definitely think it adds to the film look to have it on though! 😁
These are mint!! 😍
thank you! ❤
Shout out Bob Vylan
Selling this camera to me more and more
do it 😈
Is there a way to get rid of the first flash? I mean can this camera shoot like the OG Film Cameras that take the pics with just a single flash release?
Hi! Mine only flashes once, make sure you have red eye removal off in the flash settings
Hey ! Can you have custom settings and load them when you want to like on sony's?
Do you mean the 1/2/3 on the dials on the Sony cameras? As far as I’m aware, no you can’t on the x100 cameras but it looks like you can on PASM dial fuji cameras like the xh2s (however I’ve not used one so I can’t say for certain)
@@EddyMaynard not necessarily but can you save some custom film simulation for example and load them when you want to used them or do you have to setup one everytime ?
appreciate the tips!
you're welcome!
hi Eddiy, thanks for the video and showing the results with the settings - I'll def try it!
Unfortunately my settings for turning on the flash setting are grey so I can't turn it on - any advice here? thanks
Turn the camera off burst mode :)
have you tried the tiffen glimmerglass 1? a lot of people say it’s better than the black pro mist 1/8 but i haven’t tried either. would love to know your opinion!
I have yes, used it quite a lot, it definitely retains more contrast but it’s overall a more subtle look than the pro mist! I’d say under the right situations I prefer the look of the pro mist but the Glimmerglass is more versatile and suits more situations due to its subtleness. Sometimes the pro mist is a bit too much (shooting backlit subjects in dark rooms especially)
Is it normal for the flash to take a few seconds to refresh after taking a shot? Sometimes I press the shutter and the flash does not go off.
Yes, especially if you have the flash turned up like I reccommend on this video, it just needs 4-5 seconds to charge. Quite annoying but one of the limitations of a built in flash! If you got an external flash gun you wouldn’t have this issue, just for future reference :)
Hi there, amazing shots, thanks for a great video. Might be user error but I've followed all the settings and my images come out really dark. Do you have any idea where I might have gone wrong? I've played around with the built in flash settings, as well as the SS and ISO but still no luck.
Hello! If you can DM me some examples on Instagram @eddymaynard I might be able to diagnose the issue for you, I’d be happy to take a look.
But from the top of my head - make sure the flash is on TTL and flash exposure comp is at least +1, and make sure your subject is within 3-4 metres of the camera, it will struggle to carry the flash further than that.
@@EddyMaynard Thanks so much for your response! I think that's it you know - the fact that my subjects are too far away. Will continue playing around with it. User error aside, just wanted to say your recipe is everything - I don't use anything else!
Hey I'm using your recipe, without filter, and half of the time people are getting super over exposed, super white. How can I solve this ?
this is great
hey awesome content!!… may i ask how does it affect the battery life with lots of shooting with flash on? thanks in advance
Hello! Thanks very much :) to be honest ive not really noticed a massive decrease in battery life when using the flash. Im sure there will be some, but ive found its not noticeable enough to be a problem.
if you haven't already, id definitely recommend getting another fuji battery for the camera, there's not been one time in the last 3 years where I've worried about battery life, so I think its a great investment!
Thanks for watching :)
i watched this video when I owned the xe-4 now I sold it and bought the x100vi. do you shoot RAW & JPG with this recipe you created? and when I shoot raw with the recipe does it come baked in or the raw image is completly raw?
I always shoot raw and jpeg yeah, often end up editing the raws!
The stuff that stays on the raw file -
Film sim (if you have lightroom to import with camera settings), Otherwise this can be applied in the profile drop-down menu where it usually says ‘Adobe color’
White balance shift (obviously this can be adjusted with a raw file but it will default to the camera setting, which is helpful)
These can both be changed, but are good to have as a starting point if you’ve shot with a recipe.
The only thing that can’t be adjusted after is Dynamic range (DR100, DR200, DR400) as for some reason, this stays baked into the raw file
@@EddyMaynard for some reason when I tested the exact same method. Classic Neg did not appear in my profile browser. When others do. Any idea? + How do I import with the same camera settings into LR?
You are the GOAT
❤ thank you so much!
Sub’d great shots man.
Thank you so much!
are you getting shadows on your images from that lens hood?
the square one? yes very slightly on the edge, but not enough to ruin a photo, i do tend to remove it though if im doing a whole shoot with flash, but if its just a quick snap ill just leave it on, its minor! :)
Eddy just outta curiousity, you used a 4-point star filter on the picture 2:20 right?
Hello! I did yeah 😊
Used this setting for my two year olds birthday party. I’m extremely happy with most of the photos. Some had really bad red eye. Tried turning on the red eye removal and noticed it slowed the camera down significantly. Do you have a fix for red eye that isn’t the built in removal mode? I guess it’s a matter of taking the raw file to Lightroom and removing it manually, that’s just such a pain in the ass
sorry just seen this! I guess the only way to do it in camera without using the built in red eye would be to use an external flash. as far as I know, red eye is only an issue when the flash is too close to the lens, so using an external flash on top of the camera will definitely help

great video! what exports settings do you use to export the jpegs to instagram and not loose quality?
thanks!
jpeg, long edge 2048px, quality 100, sharpen for screen - low
this is the best all round compromise ive personally found for Facebook, instagram, and CZcams combined while also keeping the files big enough to only keep the edited jpegs if I dont want to keep the full size raws anymore
2:55: How the heck did you set the touchscreen to choose a setting by swiping?
menu > wrench tab at the bottom > button/dial setting > function fn setting > t-fn1 / 2 / 3 etc...
and then scroll down to the second page of button/dial setting, go to 'touch screen setting' and make sure its turned on :)
@@EddyMaynardoh thanks a lot :) I'd previously roamed around in these settings but didn't get it in full.
happy to help :) @@jensbondarenko9195

what fuji x100v alternative would you best recommend to use this film simulation with flash?
Xt4 / Xt5 / xe4 but you’d need an external flash!
Hey eddy, so all this custom setup is in the lightroom app isnt it? beacuse im new on it and i dont see all the settings you are showing haha
hello, im not sure what you mean sorry! its all on the camera menu, apart from the last bit which is on an iPhone on the photos app
do you have an idea how to turn on the flash on xpro1
Not sure on xpro but try these (assuming you have an external flash) - make sure ‘sound and flash’ is turned on in the settings menu, make sure the camera is set to single shot, make sure you have it turned on in the flash menu (either to TTL or M)
Also make sure you’re using mechanical shutter, not electronic
@@EddyMaynard thanks will try that and let you know
Curious, what are your thoughts on using the Godox Senior or Godox Junior external flashs along with the x100v?
ive not used them! will look into them though, thanks!
Hello! Thanks for your interesting video! I'm really new to photography, I have a question: When you shoot with these settings, your screen is totally black right? You are shooting "blind" right? And you hope that everything is in frame? Or I might have I missed something. Last question: Is it in manual mode? How to get a 'zone mode' as a focus area in MF?
Thanks a lot again for this super video!
yes mostly just black since its not accounting for the flash, so the best workaround is to shoot through the optical viewfinder and this way its a lot easier to frame everything up :)
focus is set to auto, and you can also set a focus limiter if you'd like, but not essential!
thanks for watching, hope this helps!
@@EddyMaynard Fun fact you can map a function button to "Preview Exp./WB in Manual Mode" and itll allow you to see what you're seeing through the OVF on the screen :)
Going to give this a try on the weekend. Out of interest what watch is that?
Good luck! 😌 and it’s a casio a1000m-1bef
are you using internal or external flash?
Built in
