# For every film simulation
1. Noise reduction to the minimum (`-4`) to keep the grain, and let the Sharpeness setting do its work
2. Clarity set to `0`. If Clarity is different than 0, then it takes a second or two between 2 shots because of post-processing, in *Single Shot*. To mitigate that, you can shot in burst (*Continuous Low* or *Continuous High*)
3. I usually shoot between -1/3 and +2/3
**No film sim, for reference**
