Other Features
Digital effects – Directly beneath the image effects in the Function menu, the digital effects are listed. These are the controls you typically want to avoid, the ones that have been on camcorder since the mid-1980s and are no funnier now than they were then: Sepia, Art, and Mosaic. There are some more useful settings here, if you’d rather not go through the editing process, including Fade, Wipe (each with a few options), and black & white.
Markers: In the admin menu, you can select to have screen markers appear on the LCD. These are useful guidelines to help you compose shots, and are not recorded to the final footage. The Level tool creates a simple horizontal line bisecting the screen. The Grid breaks the screen up into 9 equal blocks. Both Level and Gris can be set to appear either grey or white.
