Creating film simulations in Sony cameras

I have read about how Fuji digital cameras have built-in film simulations in JPG, allowing a photographer to select, for example, a Velvia-like appearance. Does anyone know, or have, recipes for creating similar simulations in Sony digital cameras? I have the A7CR and A7R4, and they allow me to select a "creative look", such as Vivid, and then to select a wide range of variables in contrast, highlights, shadow, saturation, and sharpness. Of course, this only works in JPG. But since I shoot mostly in JPG, and like playing around witih the Creative Looks, I wonder if there are some recipies for creating specific films looks using those adjustable parameters. Thanks in advance.

But, why? Do the best you can out of camera and then do the "Creative Look" in post. The possibilities are endless. If you do your "creative Look" on camera, you are limiting possibilities... now and in the future.

You might try creating a style and apply it to all images automatically on import of images.

Glad you asked the question. I have a A7CR and would also love to know if anyone has developed any pre-sets to apply when importing in, that would give a Velvia slide look.

Thanks, but that wasn't my question. I am shooting mostly in JPG, not RAW, so I want to be able to create these simulations directly in the camera, and not in post.

Sorry I missed that.
