The standard PROVIA mode is just fine for general-purpose filming, just as it is for still photos, but also try some of the modes that are lower in contrast. This is because it\u2019s harder to keep detail in the very brightest and very darkest parts of a scene when you\u2019re making \u00a0movies as opposed to stills.<\/p>\n<p>Low-contrast Film Simulation modes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ASTIA<\/li>\n<li>PRO Neg.

It\u2019s named after the FUJIFILM ETERNA analog film that\u2019s been a big hit with Hollywood film studios for years and is characterized by flat contrast and muted colors.<\/p>\n<p>If ETERNA is a bit too muted, try one of the PRO Neg. simulations, which will add a bit more contrast and color. And don\u2019t forget that you can always fine-tune the look and feel of your footage by using the Highlight Tone, Shadow Tone, and Color adjustments, available from the camera\u2019s Quick Menu (accessed by pressing the Q button) or the Image Quality Setting menu.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h3>Your Next Steps<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0CHALLENGE<\/strong> Set your camera to one of its low-contrast Film Simulation modes and make some movie clips of the town in which you live.
