Highlight -1 and Shadow 0 give softer highlights. Colour Chrome Effect Weak adds density to saturated colors and Auto white balance shifted R +2 / B -2 makes it warmer. Clarity -1 softens midtones, light, fine grain, and High ISO NR -2 keeps more texture.

Against Fujifilm’s starting point for ASTIA / Soft, Highlight comes down to -1 from 0 and Shadow goes up to 0 from -1. Colour, Sharpness, and Grain stay at the stock value.

Exposure: ISO Auto up to 3200, exposure compensation +1/3, and DR100.

It works on 17 cameras with an X-Trans V or X-Trans IV sensor. Still sold new: X-E5, X-T30 III, X100VI, X-T50, X-M5, X-S20, X-T5, X-H2, and X-H2S.
