Vivid +2 - Film Simulation for the Sigma FP and FP L

This recipe is actually very simple to input into the Sigma FP. You only need to adjust the white balance, tone, and Color Mode strength.

For vibrant colors, I increased the strength of the Vivid Color Mode by 2 stops. I really like the fact that Sigma allows the user to adjust the strength of the picture profile, something you can’t do on the Ricoh GR III.

Recipe:

White Balance: Daylight, A6, G4

Color Mode: Vivid (Strength +2).

Tone: Manual, Shadows +3, Highlights -3

Sample Images from Sigma FP with Vivid +2 Film Simulation

All of these sample images are SOOC (straight-out-of-camera) JPEG images, the colors are original and have not been edited. The photographs were taken with the Sigma FP and the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 Contemporary lens and the Voigtlander 35mm f/2.5. Some of the photos were taken with a 1/4 black diffusion filter. You may notice some green color cast on the corners of a few of the photos, this is an issue on my 35mm f/2.5.
