What it simulates
- Per-hue saturation BOOSTS — greens ×1.15, blues ×1.18
- Hue shifts across all colour anchors
- Firm S-curve
- Firm shoulder
- Ultra-fine grain (0.06)
- No halation, no vintage-glow — vividness is the character
- Nature scene variation replaces the Indoor slot
How it behaves at capture
- Photo mode
- Live in the viewfinder, baked at capture
- Per-hue saturation boosts respond to scene colours differently
What VERDE 50 is
VERDE 50 is vivid slide-film character. Greens pop. Blues deepen. Skies read as intense. The look works because it's per-hue, not global — a naive saturation boost blows warm skin tones out, but VERDE 50's per-hue math targets the colours that slide film naturally exaggerates while leaving skin tones controlled.
How to shoot with VERDE 50
- Landscape, nature, sky, and blue-hour scenes — VERDE 50's per-hue boosts are tuned for exactly this content.
- Not the right pick for portraits (use MORNING 01) or muted / faded aesthetics (use FADE-200).
- Nature scene variation is the killer app — use it for parks, forests, mountain scenes, coastlines.
See also FADE-200 (muted per-hue, opposite direction) and NOCT-800 (tungsten night).

Frequently asked questions
Is VERDE 50 a Velvia simulation?
VERDE 50 is slide-film-adjacent — the character (greens boost, blues boost, firm S-curve, minimal grain, no halation) is in the Velvia family. Not a direct emulation of a specific Fujifilm stock; a modelled character in the same neighbourhood.
Why is the grain so fine?
Because slide film has fine grain. Real ISO 50 slide stocks like Velvia 50 are famously fine-grained. VERDE 50 reflects that at 0.06 — barely visible in normal use, present in shadow detail.
