Point and Shoot 200 Film Recipe

An easy to use, go everywhere film simulation recipe for casual shooting

Sometimes you just want to take photos. You don’t want to worry too much about the technical or the rules, and you just want to capture quick snaps as you go about your day. This Point and Shoot film recipe is designed for just this sort of casual shooting.

The recipe is based on the idea that a simple 35mm pocket camera, loaded with a roll of 200 film was all you needed. There weren’t many settings to consider, but you got some lovely colourful prints and could relive the memories each time you opened up the album.

So, take it easy. Don’t overthink it. Just enjoy taking pictures and relax knowing your images will have a wonderfully film like look with bouncy colour and happy tones.

  1. Lovely! I like the colours here, also look good in the shade and mist.

    Recently visited Athens where I ran into a bunch of “Fujifilm Strangers” (randomly, anywhere). Had a nice time talking with them about our Fujifilm gear and how much we enjoy using our cameras. I also told them about your site (none of them knew about it).

    Thanks for mentioning the sensors (xtrans4 or 5) in new recipes as some of us do use both.

    Cheers

    • Lovely to hear from you, and I’m glad you like the recipe.

      Yes, I’ve had those conversations too. I do always enjoy them. I’m travelling again soon and always do look out for anyone with an X-Series.

      Thanks for mentioning my site too. Always nice to have some new people finding it 🙂

      I recently got an X-S20 which has the V series processor and the new rendering. Ill update all the recipes in time, but Ive updated the most recent 40 or so
