After almost a year of dreaming about the x100v, I finally got one. I was drawn to the film simulation, compact size, and image quality. After using the camera, my only regret is not purchasing sooner.

I have always shot with Canon cameras (5Diii), and it was a bit of a learning curve to get a hang of a different layout. Once I set the film simulation recipe, I started out shooting in auto then gradually moved to manual as I got more comfortable. The exposure compensation dial was new to me, but loved how it altered the lighting and now I use it regularly.
The day after my camera was delivered, we headed out to Catalina Island. I was excited to try out the film simulation effect and wanted something with a euro summer, warm toned feel. TikTok has a lot of great film simulation recipe posted, and I saved videos to test out on the camera.
Changing the film simulation settings was easier than I anticipated, the film simulation recipe s posted online are in a perfect chronological order with the options on the camera. My favorite recipe from online was the Kodachrome 64 by Ritchie Roesch. by After testing out a few, I changed the settings on my own to get a more warm and grainy feel. After settling on what I liked, I kept it the same for the whole trip.
FujiFilm X100V Accessories I have:
This camera strap is so much better than the one it came with. The rounded rope is a lot more comfortable & the connection is very sturdy.
This square lens hood for the x100v / x100vi and has really improved my photos. It helps with the lighting and also adds a layer of protection to the lens. I got this rather than the Fuji brand because of the lower price and it is very high quality.
