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 (
Z
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.

during playback. Factory-preset is Auto Tracking.

working.

TBC does not work during still playback and shuttle
search.
●
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

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