It decides how exciting a scene is, based on zooming, panning, and scene changes, and whether there are faces. The V700/V700M has both advanced with the addition of playback effects that include slow motion, still image fading, and flash playback. Four image effect modes – natural, pop, dynamic and classical – have also been added.
