Fujifilm X-T5 gains the REALA ACE Film Simulation capability
Fujifilm released firmware updates for X-T5 , X-S20 , X-H2 , X-H2S mirrorless cameras, and X100VI advanced compact camera. The highlight of the updates for the mirrorless cameras is the addition of the Reala Ace Film Simulation option. The popular X100VI already had this option so the changes it has is limited to AF accuracy improvement and general bug fixes that improve the operational stability.
Reala Ace Film
Reala Ace , a 100-speed color negative film introduced by Fujifilm in 1998, was an improved version of its predecessor, Reala. Known for its accurate color reproduction and fine grain, it was popular among portrait and landscape photographers.
