- Community recipe, manual settings or imported JSON
Recipes are optional when you build the firmware and are written into it.
What it does
- Presets nine parameters, such as saturation, hue, high/low key and contrast, on the stock image control slots
- A recipe can come from the community recipes, a manual recipe or an imported recipe JSON
- Each slot can take the recipe’s name and icon as well
How to use it in the camera
- Once added, click “Set up” in the slot list below the card, choose where the recipe comes from and set the parameters.
- Slots you leave unset stay stock.
- After flashing, pick this slot in the camera just as you would a stock image control.
Requirements and limits
- Each slot can take the recipe’s name and icon as well. The other 8 in-camera slots cannot be customized yet and stay stock. White balance, exposure, ISO and the like from community recipes have to be set by hand in the camera.
Testing status
Supports this model · 6 slots can be customized
FAQ
Are a community recipe’s white balance and exposure written in too?
No. White balance, exposure, ISO and the like from community recipes have to be set by hand in the camera.
Are the stock image controls still there?
Yes. Only the slots you set change; the others stay stock.
Does it work with GRLife Pro?
Yes. GRLife Pro takes the Cross Processing slot, so that slot can no longer hold a recipe; the other recipe slots work as usual.
Custom firmware, test version · The result is unofficial firmware and flashing carries risk; back up first and keep the official firmware.
Other features
- GRLife ProSwap films from the SD card in the camera, with grain, diffusion and an imprint (date and caption).
- HDR photosEach JPEG carries an HDR gain map, so highlights look brighter and more detailed on HDR screens.
- Live photosWith every photo, the camera also saves a short silent clip from just before and after the shutter; once exported, it is a photo that moves in your phone’s library.
- More aspect ratiosAdds five aspect ratios: 7:6, 5:4, 4:3, 16:9 and full-width 65:24.
- Half frameTwo portrait shots become one 3:2 photo with a black line between them, just like a half-frame film camera.
- Golden ratio guidesAdds a golden ratio grid and golden spirals in four directions to the camera’s own grid style menu.
- Rail levelThe level becomes two rails; the camera is level when the dot sits in the ring and turns green.
- Anamorphic lensWith a 1.25× or 1.20× anamorphic widescreen lens mounted, live view and photos are desqueezed in the camera into a wide frame with normal proportions.
- Nine ADJ settingsADJ Mode Setting grows from 5 to 9 settings, and the ADJ strip shows them all at once.
- Rear dial sets ISOTurn the rear dial (the ring around the four-way controller) to change ISO directly while shooting, without pressing the ISO key first; below the lowest ISO is AUTO.
- Snap distance in feetThe snap focus distance reads in feet: in the menus, on the shooting screen and in ADJ, 2.5m shows as 8ft.
