FG	FG : FOG	Electronic Fog Filter

Electronic Fog Filter

Makes the picture look misty white, as when an external fog filter is attached to the lens. Softens the image and gives it a “fancy” look.

ND	ND : ND EFFECT	ND Effect

ND Effect

A black mist darkens the picture, as when an ND filter is used. Helps to counter the effects of glare on the subject.

	SEPIA	Sepia

The scene being shot is recorded in sepia-tinted (reddish-brown) monochrome, giving the effect of an older movie. Use together with Wide (☞ pg. 20) for the authentic look of a classic Hollywood movie.
