Often, you need to actually experiment with different settings to see which best suits a scene. But what if you only have one opportunity to grab an image and you can\u2019t simply try again with slightly different camera settings?<\/p>\n<p>Film Simulation bracketing effectively lets you photograph with three different black &amp; white settings at once, so you can capture the moment in slightly different ways.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h3>Setting up Film Simulation Mode Bracketing<\/h3>\n<p>To set up Film Simulation mode bracketing on your own camera, first switch on bracketing, then program the black &amp; white effects you want to use.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Press MENU OK and scroll to the SHOOTING SETTING menu tab.<\/li>\n<li>Select FILM SELECTION BKT.<\/li>\n<li>Assign a MONOCHROME or ACROS Film Simulation mode to each of the FILM 1, FILM 2, and FILM 3 slots.<\/li>\n<li>Half-press the shutter release button to go back to shooting mode.<\/li>\n<li>Now select bracketing from the DRIVE menu \u2013\u00a0this varies from camera to camera, so consult your user manual if you\u2019re unsure how to access this feature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp_flexbox col3\">\n<li><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fujifilm-x.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Shooting-Setting-Drive.jpg&quot;\" alt=\"Learn photography with Fujifilm, Using Black &amp; White Bracketing\" width=\"581\" height=\"&quot;363\u201d\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/li>\n<li><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Film-Sim-Bkt.jpg?width=581&#038;height=363\" alt=\"Learn photography with Fujifilm, Using Black &amp; White Bracketing\" width=\"581\" height=\"363\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/li>\n<li><img data-preload-after-window-load=\"preload\" data-preload-delay=\"300\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FS-assign.jpg?width=581\" alt=\"Learn photography with Fujifilm, Using Black &amp; White Bracketing\" width=\"581\" height=\"&quot;363\u201d\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><p>With these settings, your camera will create three JPEG or RAW files each time you make a picture, one for each Film Simulation mode you have selected.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this approach can also be used for those instances when you don\u2019t know whether to photograph in color or black &amp; white. Just set one of the Film Simulation bracketing options to a color setting and another to black &amp; white. Then you can create without worrying.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h3>Your Next Steps<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CHALLENGE <\/strong>With your camera set to photograph three different black &amp; white Film Simulation modes, take a trip out and photograph a favorite landscape.
