Film simulation play-flow
250 f8
"My Menu" looks like this in my Fuji X camera, equivalent in the GFX:
ISO Auto Setting
Photometry
Film Simulation
Monochromatic Color
White Balance
Grain Effect
Color Chrome Effect
Color Chrome FX Blue
D Range Priority
Edit/Save Custom Settings
Currently I use Auto ISO up to 12800, with a minimum Shutter Speed (SS) of 1/250 by default (or 1/125 for portrait work). That is a safe baseline sacrificing some image quality. SS and ISO then can be tweaked according to my needs. (1/500+ for fast moving subjects, 1/60- for tripod work, etc.)
These are the film simulations I use in-camera as of today (2024-10-06), emphasizing portrait work, street and nature clicks (changes every few weeks usually):
