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 (☞ pg. 31), 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.

TBC (Time Base Corrector): Removes jitter from fluctuating video signals to deliver a stable picture even with old tapes. Factory-preset: TBC is engaged.

To activate/release the TBC mode, press P.STABILIZER during playback for more than 1 second. When the TBC mode is activated, “TBC” is displayed.

●The “TBC” indicator turns white while TBC is not operative.

●It may take a few seconds before TBC actually starts working.

●The picture may be distorted if the TBC mode is activated or deactivated at the edit-in/-out points or when normal playback resumes after still playback or shuttle search.

●If the playback picture is distorted when TBC is set to on, turn off TBC.
