Clips done in 4K 60fps. Color Simulation: Monochrome Standard.
Clips glued together without color modifications - straight from camera. Just add to tracks and export movie to mp4 (h.264).
Video Editor/Converter: OpenShot Video Editor

This time Audio direct from external Fujifilm Stereo Microphone MIC-ST1 and MIC Build-in in Camera X-H2.

The Idea was to test together with Color Simulation, the quality of MIC Audio Recording.

Settings used:
Internal MIC Level Adjustment = AUTO
External MIC Level Adjustment = AUTO
MIC Level Limiter = ON
Wind Filter = ON
Low Cut Filter = OFF

Conclusions: Monochrome Standard Color Simulation is a perfect toned black&white scheme for movies and photos. Universal for reportage and where topic is more important then the colors. I personally do not really see the difference between Acros and Monochrome. These differences are unnoticeable when encoding to H264. Only in direct comparison can you see that the contrast is slightly higher by 10% in Monochrome mode.

External directional microphone - which covers the angle in front of the camera. The built-in microphone covers a larger area on both sides of the camera, giving the effect of covering a half circle. In my opinion, the built-in MIC is sufficient in closed rooms, but in public places the directional microphone is a much better solution in cases where the interlocutor is in front of the camera.

By the way, movie shows Berlin Ostbahnhof where after nearly 100 years take place renovations to replace old elements with the new windows and make new roof for the new ... 100 years.
