Playback Special Effects

Allows you to add creative effects to the video playback image.

The effects that can be used during playback are CLASSIC FILM, MONOTONE, SEPIA and STROBE. The effects work the same in playback as they did in recording. ( pg. 33)

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 Cinema mode, it enhances the “classic film” effect.

SEPIA: Recorded scenes have a brownish tint like old photos. Combine this with the Cinema mode for a classic look.

STROBE: Your recording looks like a series of consecutive snapshots.
