CLASSIC FILM
Gives recorded scenes a strobe effect.
MONOTONE
Like classic black and white films, your
footage is shot in B/W. Used together with
the WIDE mode (੬ pg. 27), it enhances
the “classic film” effect.
SEPIA
Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like
old photos. Combine this with the WIDE
mode for a classic look.
STROBE
Your recording looks like a series of
consecutive snapshots.
VIDEO ECHO
Adds a “ghost” to the subject, giving your
recording a “fantasy” feeling.
