Pat Simmons connects a Fujifilm X-T5 to a Mac and uses Claude Code and existing toolsAn AI coding agent is a tool-using AI system that can inspect, modify, and validate software within a repository. to read settings, change film simulations and trigger photographsWorkflow automation uses software or AI to complete a connected sequence of routine steps with less manual effort.. He demonstrates creating and loading a custom film recipe with manual changes to the camera's connection mode.
He processes raw camera files through an open-source command-line tool and compares the resulting images. An attempted firmware investigation does not produce an in-camera modification, so he instead demonstrates a post-processing approach to bloom and halation.
Simmons presents the work as an experiment and cautions that firmware modifications can damage a camera. His examples show both useful automation and limitations, including exposure judgments he disputes.
