Overall Character

This recipe is designed to give the Fujifilm X-T20 a warm, nostalgic interpretation of Yashica Golden 80s. Classic Chrome provides the underlying colour response, while Daylight white balance with a +4 Red / -5 Blue shift gives the daylight rendering a warmer bias.

Color +3 provides richer colour, while Highlight Tone +1, Highlights +1 and Shadows +1 give the image a more pronounced tonal character. Sharpness 0 maintains the standard sharpening level, while Noise Reduction -4 reduces digital smoothing and helps retain natural texture.

Designed for the Fujifilm X-T20: Save this recipe to C3. Use +1/3 to +2/3 EV exposure compensation according to the scene and desired brightness. Grain should be set to Weak or Off depending on what your X-T20 firmware supports.
