🍁A Real World Comparison Of Sony's Film Simulation Recipes | Best Sony Picture Profiles Part II
Updated: Oct 7
Tested all Sony film simulations on the new a6700. The results are amazing.

Fall is coming and all the colors are about to take a dramatic shift. All the greens turning amber or yellow, and nature slowly taking a nap as the winter comes. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to take the last test of the year and see what can be improved. I've re-tested all film simulations with the sony a6700 capturing a landscape full of diverse colors, to showcase a real life comparison between all film simulations.
I was a little bit anxious of the results, since sony's color science has changed rapidly even from the a7s III ahead, and I didn't know how much I had to adjust them really, but at the end, only a couple needed slightly modifications to look good on to the newest and improved sony color science, and the results are nothing but amazing.
Some Film simulations needed slight adjustments, but most of them looked good as they were. You can find the new settings on the website :D
Overall I would say the Sony a6700 sensor is warmer and less saturated than older models, focusing on colors of yellow-green-cyan. Reds, yellows and blues are highly improved compared to older models, rendering pleasing colors in any direction you choose to go.
If you own multiple sony cameras and don't know how to color match them all, I made a shot article explaining how to color match older and newer sony camera models.
With these new updates on film simulation recipes, the Lightroom and Capture One presets will also be updated in the near future. Keep an eye out in your inbox for the download link in the following weeks .
This was shot on 7th of September. The leafs have a touch of rustiness, and overall the nature is rather dusty and dry.
So without a further ado, let's see the results. There are a total of 51 film recipes.
Sony a6700 - Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 - 7Artisan Black mist Filter
Sony Standard Creative Style\Look with AWB: White priority

Slight mistake, forgot to take a shot with the standard sony colors at the beginning, and took it last, so you'll notice lighting differences between Sony Standard & Vektro 100 Film simulation. Sorry for that!
Even with the newer Sony model we can see skin tones, greens and yellows are all too similar in hue, shifting towards amber, lacking color contrast. This will be fixed by using the film simulations, separating the greens from the yellows and the reds. In most cases Greens will be shifted towards Teal while yellows and the reds will be closer to amber.
Please remember we are limited by the tools existent in the camera. For more refined color adjustments check the store presets.
