An X-T5 RAW editor tuned on its own sensor
RAF Film Lab's films were measured on the X100VI, which uses the X-T5's 40-megapixel X-Trans 5 HR sensor. So X-T5 RAFs start from the same place, on Mac, iPad and iPhone: each in the film you shot, close to what the camera itself would make.
How do I edit X-T5 RAW files?
The X-T5's 40.2 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor, from the X-H2, writes 14-bit RAFs, uncompressed, lossless compressed or compressed. RAF Film Lab opens all three and reads the film simulation from each one.
At 40 MP there's room to crop, and the Crop tab works on the full RAW. With stabilisation of up to seven stops, more handheld frames are sharp enough to deserve it.
Film simulations
Which film simulations does the X-T5 have?
All 20. The X-T5 launched with Nostalgic Neg, and firmware 4.00 added Reala Ace in June 2024.
- Provia
- Velvia
- Astia
- Classic Chrome
- Classic Neg
- Nostalgic Neg
- Reala Ace
- Pro Neg. Hi
- Pro Neg. Std
- Eterna
- Eterna Bleach Bypass
- Acros (+Ye, +R, +G)
- Monochrome (+Ye, +R, +G)
- Sepia
Nothing is missing, as long as the camera is on firmware 4.00 or later. RAF Film Lab opens each frame in whatever film you set, and lets you switch to any other afterwards.
The X-T5 uses the same 40.2 MP X-Trans V sensor as the X100VI, the camera our films were measured on, so its RAWs start from the same place: a median of about 2 ΔE from the camera's own Provia. How we measure.
Can the X-T5 develop its own RAWs over USB?
X RAW STUDIO supports the X-T5, so RAF Film Lab can also send its RAFs to the camera over USB and have X-Processor 5 develop them with Fujifilm's own engine.
- Press MENU/OK and open NETWORK/USB SETTING.
- Set USB POWER SUPPLY/COMM SETTING to AUTO.
- Set CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE.
- Connect the X-T5 to your Mac or USB-C iPad with a data cable and turn it on.
Camera render is optional. The camera only develops RAWs it shot itself.

Tips for X-T5 files
- Crop boldly. A 40 MP frame cropped 2× still leaves about 10 MP.
- Reala Ace needs firmware 4.00 in the camera; in RAF Film Lab it works on every X-T5 RAW, older ones included.
- Lossless compressed RAW keeps 40 MP files manageable for iCloud sync with nothing thrown away.
- Pixel Shift composites are made by Fujifilm's Pixel Shift Combiner as DNG files, which RAF Film Lab doesn't open; it develops the single RAFs.
X-T5 questions
How close are RAF Film Lab's films on X-T5 RAWs?
The films were measured on 31 X100VI RAWs, which share the X-T5's sensor: a median of about 2 ΔE from the camera's own Provia, and 2.0 to 2.8 for the other colour films. See the scores.
Does RAF Film Lab support the X-T5?
Yes. The X-T5 is on Apple's RAW list for macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and iOS 26, and RAF Film Lab opens its RAFs on all three.
Can I use Reala Ace on X-T5 RAWs shot before firmware 4.00?
Yes. RAF Film Lab renders Reala Ace on any X-T5 RAF.
Can the X-T5 develop RAWs from RAF Film Lab?
Yes. In NETWORK/USB SETTING set USB POWER SUPPLY/COMM SETTING to AUTO and CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE, then connect it with a USB cable.
