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.
