Before You Start
- Open the Recipe and confirm that its camera model matches your camera or a compatible body.
- Update your camera firmware if a supported film simulation or setting is missing.
- Switch the camera to still-photography mode.
- Choose an unused custom bank if your camera supports one. Saving over a bank replaces the settings already stored there.
The Standard Custom-Bank Method
- Press MENU/OK on your camera.
- Open Image Quality Setting. On some older bodies, the custom-setting option sits directly in the Shooting menu.
- Choose Edit/Save Custom Setting.
- Select an empty bank, Create New C1–C7, or the bank you want to replace. The number of banks varies by camera.
- Choose Edit/Check when your camera shows that option.
- Copy each available value from Recipe Room, including the film simulation, dynamic range, white balance and shift, grain, colour chrome, tone, colour, sharpness, noise reduction, and clarity where supported.
- Save the changes. On some older cameras, press DISP/BACK, then choose OK.
- Rename the bank after the Recipe when Edit Custom Name is available.
Recall the Recipe on Different Camera Types
For comparison, Fujifilm documents menu-selected C1–C7 banks on the X-T5, dial-selected C1–C7 modes on the X-H2, dial-selected C1–C4 modes on the X-S20, and C1–C6 on the GFX100S II.
Some models do not provide custom Recipe banks. For example, the X-A7 Image Quality menu exposes the individual image settings but not Edit/Save Custom Setting, so its Recipe values need to be entered directly.
Watch Auto Update on Newer Cameras
Some newer bodies include Auto Update Custom Setting.- Enabled: changes made while using a custom mode can update that saved bank automatically.
- Disabled: temporary changes do not replace the bank unless you explicitly save them.
Settings That May Need Separate Attention
- White balance: select the base mode or Kelvin value first, then apply the red and blue shift.
- Exposure compensation: this is often shooting guidance rather than a value stored with the Recipe. Set it with the exposure-compensation dial or control when you shoot.
- ISO or Auto ISO: storage behaviour varies by camera. Treat an ISO maximum in Recipe Room as guidance if your custom bank doesn’t offer it.
- Dynamic range: DR200 and DR400 require a suitable ISO range on many cameras. If the option is unavailable, raise ISO or check the manual.
- D-Range Priority: this can override other tone or dynamic-range choices on supported cameras. Use the Recipe value rather than enabling both approaches yourself.
- Still and movie banks: some newer bodies store these separately. Make sure you’re editing the still-photo bank.
Check the Result
After saving, recall the bank and compare the camera screen with the Recipe in Recipe Room. Check the film simulation, white-balance shift, dynamic range, grain, tone, colour, sharpness, noise reduction, and clarity. Take a test image in suitable light. If the result is right, publish a Post and link the Recipe so other photographers can see how it performs on your camera. Read Create a Post for the linking flow.If a Setting Is Missing
- Confirm that the Recipe and your camera use the same model or a compatible generation.
- Confirm the camera firmware version.
- Check whether the setting is hidden because another choice, such as D-Range Priority or a monochrome simulation, is active.
- Use the Fujifilm manual finder and search for the exact setting name.
- If Recipe Room shows a field your selected camera can’t use, report the camera, firmware, Recipe link, and missing setting through the feedback portal.
