SEPIA 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. 37) for the authentic look of a classic Hollywood movie.

•When the Power Switch is set to “D.S.C.”, the scene is stored in black-and-white in the camcorder’s memory.
