# Add a Recipe to Your Camera

> How to enter Recipe Room settings on different Fujifilm camera types.

Recipe Room gives you the settings to enter, but it does not currently send them to your camera automatically. Keep the recipe open in the app and copy the supported values into your Fujifilm camera.

Fujifilm menus and custom modes vary by model and firmware. The wording below covers the main patterns; if a menu item is missing, check your exact model in the [official Fujifilm manual finder](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/).

## 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.

  Camera support in Recipe Room means the app can show settings appropriate to that model. It does not mean every supported camera has custom-setting banks. Some bodies require you to enter the values directly in the Image Quality menu.

## The Standard Custom-Bank Method

1. Press **MENU/OK** on your camera.
2. Open **Image Quality Setting**. On some older bodies, the custom-setting option sits directly in the Shooting menu.
3. Choose **Edit/Save Custom Setting**.
4. Select an empty bank, **Create New C1–C7**, or the bank you want to replace. The number of banks varies by camera.
5. Choose **Edit/Check** when your camera shows that option.
6. 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.
7. Save the changes. On some older cameras, press **DISP/BACK**, then choose **OK**.
8. Rename the bank after the recipe when **Edit Custom Name** is available.

Do not invent a substitute for a setting your camera does not offer. Older bodies may have a single **Grain Effect** control, while newer bodies can separate grain strength or roughness from size. Other newer controls, such as Clarity or Color Chrome FX Blue, may be absent entirely.

## Recall the Recipe on Different Camera Types

| Camera control style                      | How to use the saved recipe                                                                                                      |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Custom banks selected in a menu           | Open **Select Custom Setting** in Image Quality Setting, or use the Q menu if that shortcut is available, then choose Custom 1–7 |
| Mode dial with C1, C2, and more positions | Save into the matching bank, then rotate the mode dial to that C position                                                        |
| A single C position or Custom Set option  | Save the current setup with **Custom Set**, then rotate the mode dial to **C**                                                   |
| No custom-bank option                     | Enter the supported values directly in **Image Quality Setting** whenever you want to use the look                               |

For comparison, Fujifilm documents menu-selected C1–C7 banks on the [X-T5](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-t5/menu_shooting/image_quality_setting/), dial-selected C1–C7 modes on the [X-H2](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-h2/taking_photo/shooting_mode/), dial-selected C1–C4 modes on the [X-S20](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-s20/taking_photo/shooting_mode/), and C1–C6 on the [GFX100S II](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/gfx100s-ii/menu_shooting/image_quality_setting/).

Some models do not provide custom recipe banks. For example, the [X-A7 Image Quality menu](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x-a7/menu_shooting/image_quality_setting/) 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.

Disable auto update if you want the stored recipe to stay unchanged while you experiment. If your camera marks changed items with red dots, choose **Save the Changes** when you intentionally want to update the bank.

## 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 does not 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 are 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](/creating/create-a-post) for the linking flow.

## If a Setting Is Missing

1. Confirm that the recipe and your camera use the same model or a compatible generation.
2. Confirm the camera firmware version.
3. Check whether the setting is hidden because another choice, such as D-Range Priority or a monochrome simulation, is active.
4. Use the [Fujifilm manual finder](https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/) and search for the exact setting name.
5. If Recipe Room shows a field your selected camera cannot use, report the camera, firmware, recipe link, and missing setting through the [feedback portal](https://feedback.reciperoom.io).
