Fujifilm EXIF Data Guide
Everything you need to know about EXIF metadata from Fujifilm cameras — including brand-specific MakerNote fields, popular models, and privacy considerations.
About Fujifilm
Fujifilm Holdings Corporation, founded in 1934, has a storied history in photographic film before transitioning to digital cameras. Fujifilm is renowned for its retro-styled mirrorless cameras that feature physical dials for aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, recalling the experience of shooting film cameras.
Fujifilm occupies a unique niche with its X-series APS-C and GFX medium-format mirrorless systems. They are especially popular among street photographers, travel photographers, and enthusiasts who appreciate Fujifilm's signature film simulation modes that emulate classic film stocks.

Tips for Reading Fujifilm EXIF Data
- 1.The FilmMode MakerNote field tells you which film simulation was used — Velvia, Provia, Classic Neg, Acros, etc. This is unique to Fujifilm.
- 2.Fujifilm's RAF files use a unique X-Trans sensor layout. The EXIF does not indicate this directly, but third-party software may note it.
- 3.GrainEffect and ColorChromeFX fields in MakerNote reveal Fujifilm's in-camera film emulation settings.
- 4.Fujifilm uses 'FUJIFILM' (all caps) in the Make field, which can help filter photos by brand.
- 5.The DynamicRange field shows DR100, DR200, or DR400 — indicating how many stops of extra highlight recovery were applied.

How do I find which film simulation was used in a Fujifilm photo?
The film simulation is stored in the Fujifilm MakerNote as the FilmMode field. Common values include Provia/Standard, Velvia/Vivid, Astia/Soft, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg, Acros, and Eterna. Use a metadata viewer that reads MakerNote data to find this field.
What is Fujifilm's RAF raw format?
RAF is Fujifilm's proprietary raw format. It stores unprocessed sensor data from Fujifilm's X-Trans or Bayer sensors, along with EXIF metadata and Fujifilm-specific MakerNote data including film simulation, grain effect, and dynamic range settings.
Does the Fujifilm X100VI have GPS?
The Fujifilm X100VI does not have a built-in GPS receiver, but it supports Bluetooth location tagging when paired with a smartphone running the FUJIFILM XApp. Location data transferred this way appears in standard EXIF GPS fields.
