Emulating Fuji Colors on an Olympus Camera?

Post by jpmccormac1 »

As much as I like the colors from my E-M10 ii I also love the colors from Fujifilm. Has anyone tried to emulate the standard Fujifilm colors by manipulating the Natural, Vivid or other styles in their Olympus camera? I recall Rob Trek mentioning his settings in one of his YouTube videos but I can't seem to find it.

Just getting close would make me happy.  Thanks.

The E-M10 II is very limited in controlling the color. I was able to get very close on some images, not so much on others.

Basically you need to set a picture mode, then fine-tune the white balance, highlights and shadows and gradation. Set your camera to auto-WB, then tweak the A & B values.

Fujifilm Chrome: Picture Mode Muted, A+1, G+2, Shadows -4, grad normal
Fujifilm Acros: Picture Mode Mono, Highlight -3, Shadow -2, grad auto
Fujifilm Velvia: Picture Mode Natural, A+2, G+1, highlight -2, shadow -4, grad normal, saturation +1
Fujifilm Provia: Picture Mode Natural, A+2, G+1, highlight 0, shadow 0, grad normal, saturation 0

Basically fuji is pushing the reds and green to give a warmer look and then adjusting contrast.

FYI. I've been revisiting the Fujifilm emulations and discovered that DxO Photolab 4 has a good easy to use set of Fuji color emulations built into their application. I only have the Essential version but Astia, Provia and Velvia are available. It's possible to build your own simulations using the settings shown above by Rob.

Happy Shooting!
