The X100VI is the camera we measured our films on
Every film in RAF Film Lab was solved against X100VI RAWs and the camera's own renders of them. If you shoot an X100VI, this is the RAW editor built from your camera's files: Classic Chrome, Reala Ace, Acros and the other 17 films, on Mac, iPad and iPhone.
How do I edit X100VI RAW files?
We shot 31 frames on an X100VI, from ISO 64 to 5000, in daylight and indoors, with every setting at its default. Then we had Fujifilm's X RAW STUDIO render each RAF in every simulation. Both sides come from the same RAW, so each pair lines up pixel for pixel and only the rendering differs. RAF Film Lab's films were solved to match those renders and scored through the app's own rendering chain.
The X100VI's 40.2 MP X-Trans CMOS 5 HR sensor gives each RAF a lot of room to crop, which matters on a fixed 35 mm-equivalent lens. With the X100VI's first-ever in-body stabilisation, more slow-shutter frames come out sharp enough to be worth a careful develop: masks, curves, colour grading, and heal and clone on the full RAW.
Film simulations
Which film simulations does the X100VI have?
The X100VI has all 20 simulations from launch, Reala Ace and Nostalgic Neg included. RAF Film Lab reads the one you set from each RAF and opens the frame in it, along with the rest of the recipe you shot with.
- 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, and nothing is approximated from another camera: every film here was measured against this camera's own output. Provia lands at a median of 2.06 ΔE, Classic Chrome and Reala Ace at 2.01, and Acros and Monochrome within about 1.5 L*. See the full table.
The films were measured on this camera: 31 RAWs, each rendered in every simulation by X RAW STUDIO and compared with ours. Provia lands at a median of 2.06 ΔE, and every colour film between 2.0 and 2.8. See every score.
Can the X100VI develop its own RAWs over USB?
When you want Fujifilm's own output rather than a match of it, the X100VI can develop RAWs itself. RAF Film Lab sends the RAF and its settings over USB and the camera's X-Processor 5 renders it, as X RAW STUDIO does. You can also save a recipe as an X100VI X RAW STUDIO profile.
- 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 X100VI 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 X100VI files
- Your recipe comes with the RAW. Film, white balance and shift, tone, colour and grain are read from the file, so a frame shot with a recipe opens close to the JPEG you saw on the camera.
- Crop is the X100VI's zoom. At 40 MP a 50 mm-equivalent crop still leaves around 20 MP, and the full frame stays in the RAW if you change your mind.
- Lossless compressed RAW is the best choice for iCloud sync: much smaller files, nothing thrown away.
- Set USB POWER SUPPLY/COMM SETTING to AUTO before you plug in for camera render.
X100VI questions
How close are RAF Film Lab's films to the X100VI's own?
On 31 X100VI RAWs, Provia lands at a median of 2.06 ΔE from the camera's render, and every colour film between 2.0 and 2.8. A ΔE around 2 is about the smallest difference most people notice side by side. How we measure.
Can I edit X100VI RAF files on an iPhone?
Yes. The X100VI is on Apple's RAW list for iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26, and RAF Film Lab opens its RAFs on all three, compressed ones included.
Does RAF Film Lab read my X100VI recipe?
Yes. It reads the film simulation and recipe settings recorded in each RAF and opens the photo in that film. Saved recipes live in the Recipes tab.
Can the X100VI develop RAWs for RAF Film Lab?
Yes. In NETWORK/USB SETTING set CONNECTION MODE to USB RAW CONV./BACKUP RESTORE and connect the camera. RAF Film Lab sends the RAF and the camera returns its own render.
