EktaColor
by Ritchie Roesch · ricohrecipes.com
View original postA vibrant Ektar-style color-negative look with bold, clean color. Ritchie's original specifies the Fluorescent Daylight White preset (about 5000K) - on camera, pick Daylight White, not Daylight Color.
- White Balance
- Fluorescent (Daylight White) A14 G8
- Highlight DR
- Auto
- Shadow DR
- Medium
- Peripheral Illum.
- On
- Noise Reduction
- Off
- ISO
- Up to ISO 6400
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.
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.
