Mid-80s consumer film: Saturation +4 warmth fighting a 6700K base pulled blue-green B10 G8, hot highlight contrast, deepened shadows. Names do not get more specific, and neither do looks.

The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.

From the creator

Ritchie suggests exposure compensation between 0 and +1/3.

Camera compatibility

Originally created for the GR III - popular on the GR IV too. Every value dials straight in; the presets and settings are identical across bodies. The GR IV's newer sensor renders a touch warmer and brighter, so treat this as a starting point, not a guaranteed match; if it looks too warm, a small white-balance nudge toward blue brings it closer.
