Student testimonials

Mary D

I've used Fuji cameras for 8 years, and in one day of going through the course "Creating Unique Fujifilm Film Recipes" I learned more about my camera's capabilities and how to make the camera work for me and reduce time on the computer than I have in the last 8 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Marco T

Very good introductory course for personalizing the amazing Fuji Film Simulations! One of the main reason why I chose Fujifilm cameras, apart from the less weight and the old-style ergonomics, is for the capabilities to shoot SOOC (Straight Out of Camera), and this course encourages to do it by yourself! Recommended!

FAQ

How many hours of video are included?

There are one hour and five minutes of video to take you from start to finish, and an additional 40 minutes of bonus video taking you through examples. These videos are broken down into short chunks as to not overwhelm you at once.
Which Fujifilm cameras will this work for?

This course will work for nearly any Fujifilm X and GFX mirrorless cameras. However, some cameras do not allow you to program custom settings into the camera. These are the X-T100, X-T200, X-A5, and X-A7. The X-S10 does allow this, but you only get four settings while other cameras allow for seven.
How do I get help when I need it?
