How to Use ChatGPT to Create Film Simulations Recipes

Fellow Fujifilm Film Simulation member Cris created his own film simulation recipe using ChatGPT.

Today I asked ChatGPT to create a Fuji Film Recipe for the GFX50R that mimic’d Kodak Tri-X Pushed One Stop and it created me a pretty respectable emulation.

If you want to check out the results, go to the dedicated post in the film simulation group.

SonyAlphaRumors guy Andrea found this so cool that he used the ChatGPT to create his own recipe on his personal Fujifilm GFX100S. He shared the results in the video you can see above.

Good that Fujifilm cameras have so many aspects you can fine-tune directly in camera (Clarity, Grain, etc). ;)

Interestingly it works also if you ask to emulate the film on a Sony cameras. I hope Andrea will compare the results between Sony and Fuji and tell us which ones are closer to the real film.

As far as I can see from the few samples visible on the film simulation group and at Andrea’s YouTube channel, the recipe they got are different to the ones of well known Fuji X Weekly.

Since there are many people and websites offering film simulations recipes (for example OneCameraOneLens), maybe the software looks at all film simulations recipes with the same name and makes a mix out of them, or maybe it really just guesses the best settings based on the characteristics of the film.

I don’t know how it works, but it’s curious you can create such simulations also via ChatGPT.

Fujifilm X-S20 coming with NP-W235 Battery (Rumor) but not in April (Speculation)

Quick update regarding the Fujifilm X-S20.

We know the Fujifilm X Summit in April has been canceled and the next X Summit will take place in May.

But this hasn’t changed what we told you already a long time ago: the next Fujifilm X series camera to come will be the Fujifilm X-S20. Sure, this means that in theory it is still possible we will get a new GFX camera before the X-S20 or along with it. But as for X series, the X-S20 is next.

So when will it come? Could Fujifilm announce the X-S20 in April, just don’t make an X Summit about it?

Well, yes they definitely could. Not all Fujifilm cameras get their X summit. But since the X-S20 is a very important camera for Fujifilm, I believe they’ll honor it with an X-Summit. It’s not a rumor, but a speculation. And I’d be very surprised if I was wrong.

The second rumor instead is a trusted rumor: the Fujifilm X-S20 will use the newer NP-W235 battery. I hope Fujifilm will be able to keep the camera body super small like on the current X-S10 body despite the new larger battery.

Fujifilm X-E4 Discontinued at BHphoto and Other Stores

The Fujifilm X-E4 was launched in January 2021 and the last time I’ve noticed the X-E4 in stock was back in October 2021.

Not even the Fujifilm X100V has such a bad shipping record as the X-E4.

And now, after 2 years only, stores are already starting to mark it as discontinued, as for example BHphoto here (in all its combinations) and the Australian store Camerapro.

It’s a pity that such a beautiful little camera hardly ever shipped and now it even seems to be over for it.

At this point, the Fujifilm X-E5 can’t come soon enough.

CANCELED: No More Fujifilm X Summit in April – Trusted Source

Back in January Fujifilm officially announced the next Fujifilm X Summit for April.

But today a trusted source reached out to us and told us that Fujifilm has now decided to cancel the April X summit event.

I have no idea if Fujifilm will make an official announcement about the event being deleted, or if they’ll just let April pass and hope we simply forgot about it.

But what I am sure is this: there is no X summit in April. That’s Trusted Stuff.

Evidently something did not go according to plan.

Fujifilm Spain Displays Camera Roadmap with New “Disruptive” Models Coming in May and September

During the presentation of the Instax Mini 12, Fujifilm Spain displayed a slide showing the Fujifilm camera roadmap, with new models to come in May and September. The Spanish website Fujistas reports:

The presentation […] had an unexpected surprise: a slide that unveiled the camera roadmap in 2023. The graph contrasts the last two new cameras in both Instax and the X Series:

His conclusion: there will be two X series cameras and two Instax cameras coming in the next 7 months.

Since Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm X Summit for April, Fujistas speculates that the X summit could take place in the final days of April and hence the release of the first camera on the roadmap could be in May.

Fujifilm Spain has described these four novelties as “disruptive”
