-
Old movies
Creates an atmosphere like an old film by adding wavering, scratches, and flickering effects to the image. The top and bottom of the screen are masked in black. You can modify the wavering and scratch effects by adjusting the filter effect.
-
Memory
Creates the atmosphere of a distant memory. Gives the movie a soft look overall, reducing brightness of the periphery of the screen. You can modify the overall saturation and the dark areas along the screen edges by adjusting the filter effect.
-
Dramatic B&W
Creates an atmosphere of dramatic realism with high-contrast black and white. You can adjust the graininess and black-and-white effect.
-
Miniature effect movies
You can record movies with a miniature (diorama) effect. Select the playback speed and record.
Recording under the default setting will keep the center in sharp focus.
To move the area that looks sharp (the scene frame), see Adjusting the Miniature Effect. 1-point AF is used as the AF area. Recording with the AF point and scene frame aligned is recommended. The AF point and scene frame are hidden during recording.
In step 5, set the playback speed to [5x], [10x], or [20x] before recording.
