Decoupling Film Simulations from Primary Camera Settings?

Re: Decoupling Film Simulations from Primary Camera Settings?

I’ve said much the same several times. There are shooting settings, which determine how the exposure is made, and image settings, which determine how the image is processed. The fact that Fuji mix the two, and have started doing so to an even greater degree on models like the X-E4, is frustrating.

I find that the best solution is one of the traditional-control cameras with a dedicated ISO dial (so the X-Pro2/3, X100F/V or any X-Tx). The DR setting remains the slight fly in the ointment, but I leave mine at 100.

Mind you, despite that frustration I’ve not come across a brand that does a better job of it.
