Adjust image quality settings.

---

[IMAGE SIZE]

Choose the size and aspect ratio at which still pictures are recorded.

[IMAGE QUALITY]

Choose a file format and compression ratio.

Option	Description
[SUPER FINE]	Very low compression ratios are used for maximum image quality.
[FINE]	Low compression ratios are used for higher-quality images.
[NORMAL]	Higher compression ratios are used to increase the number of images that can be stored.
[SUPER FINE+RAW]	Record both RAW and super-fine quality JPEG pictures.
[FINE+RAW]	Record both RAW and fine-quality JPEG images.
[NORMAL+RAW]	Record both RAW and normal-quality JPEG images.
[RAW]	Record RAW images only.

[RAW RECORDING]

Choose whether to compress RAW images.

[RECORDING TYPE]

Option	Description
[UNCOMPRESSED]	RAW images are not compressed.
[LOSSLESS]	RAW images are compressed using a reversible algorithm that reduces file size with no loss of image data. The images can be viewed in Capture One Express Fujifilm, RAW FILE CONVERTER EX powered by SILKYPIX, FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO, or other software that supports “lossless” RAW compression. Quality is the same as [UNCOMPRESSED], but the resulting files are anywhere from about 30 to 90 percent (14-bit RAW) or 45 to 100 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size.
[COMPRESSED]	RAW images are compressed using a “lossy”, non-reversible algorithm. Quality is about the same as [UNCOMPRESSED], but the resulting files are anywhere from about 25 to 35 percent (14-bit RAW) or 30 to 40 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size.

[OUTPUT DEPTH(bit)]

Option	Description
[16bit]	RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 16 bits.
[14bit]	RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits.

[FILM SIMULATION]

Simulate the effects of different kinds of film, including black-and-white (with or without color filters). Choose a palette according to your subject and creative intent.

Option	Description
c [PROVIA/STANDARD]	Standard color reproduction. Suited to a wide range of subjects, from portraits to landscapes.
d [Velvia/VIVID]	A high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited to nature photos.
e [ASTIA/SOFT]	Enhances the range of hues available for skin tones in portraits while preserving the bright blues of daylight skies. Recommended for outdoor portrait photography.
i [CLASSIC CHROME]	Soft color and enhanced shadow contrast for a calm look.
g [PRO Neg. Hi]	Offers slightly more contrast than h[PRO Neg. Std]. Recommended for outdoor portrait photography.
h [PRO Neg. Std]	A soft-toned palette. The range of hues available for skin tones is enhanced, making this a good choice for studio portrait photography.
g [CLASSIC Neg.]	Enhanced color with hard tonality to increase image depth.
X [ETERNA/CINEMA]	Film movies using a palette that features subdued colors and deep shadows.
N [ETERNA BLEACH BYPASS]	Unique color with low saturation and high contrast. Suitable for still and movie.
a [ACROS] *	Take black-and-white photos with rich gradation and outstanding sharpness.
b [MONOCHROME] *	Take pictures in standard black and white.
f [SEPIA]	Take pictures in sepia.

* Available with yellow ([Ye]), red ([R]), and green ([G]) filters, which deepen shades of gray corresponding to hues complementary to the selected color. The yellow ([Ye]) filter deepens purples and blues and the red ([R]) filter blues and greens. The green ([G]) filter deepens reds and browns, including skin tones, making it a good choice for portraits.

[B & W ADJ.ab(Warm/Cool)]

Add a reddish or bluish tinge (warm or cool color cast) to monochrome pictures taken with the a[ACROS] or b[MONOCHROME] film simulation.

Option	Description
[+9] — [+1]	Higher positive values equate to a redder color cast.
[0]	Normal monochrome (grayscale).
[-1] — [-9]	Lower negative values equate to a bluer color cast.

[GRAIN EFFECT]

Add a film grain effect.

[ROUGHNESS]

Option	Description
[STRONG]	Choose for rougher grains.
[WEAK]	Choose for smoother grains.
[OFF]	Turn the effect off.

[SIZE]

Option	Description
[LARGE]	Choose for coarser grains.
[SMALL]	Choose for finer grains.

[COLOR CHROME EFFECT]

Deepen colors in shadows. Select an amount ([STRONG] or [WEAK]) or choose [OFF] to turn the effect off.

Options
[STRONG]	[WEAK]	[OFF]

[COLOR CHROME FX BLUE]

[WEAK]	Choose for a weak effect.
[OFF]	Turn the effect off.

[SMOOTH SKIN EFFECT]

Smooth complexions.

Options

[DYNAMIC RANGE]

Control contrast. Choose lower values to increase contrast when shooting indoors or under overcast skies, higher values to reduce loss of detail in highlights when photographing high-contrast scenes. Higher values are recommended for scenes that include both sunlight and deep shade, for such high-contrast subjects as sunlight on water, brightly-lit autumn leaves, and portraits taken against a blue sky, and for white objects or people wearing white.

[D RANGE PRIORITY]

Reduce loss of detail in highlights and shadows for natural-looking results when photographing high-contrast scenes.

Option	Description
[AUTO]	Contrast is adjusted automatically in response to lighting conditions.
[STRONG]	Adjust dynamic range by a large amount for very high-contrast scenes.
[WEAK]	Adjust dynamic range by a smaller amount for moderately high-contrast scenes.
[OFF]	Contrast reduction off.

[WHITE BALANCE]

For natural colors, choose a white balance option that matches the light source.

Option	Description
[AUTO]	White balance is adjusted automatically.
k/l/m	Measure a value for white balance.
k	Choose a color temperature.
i	For subjects in direct sunlight.
j	For subjects in the shade.
k	Use under “daylight” fluorescent lights.
l	Use under “warm white” fluorescent lights.

n	Use under incandescent lighting.
g	Reduces the blue cast typically associated with underwater lighting.
