Cool.A couple of interesting things to try (if your camera supports it):
- zoom right in to the screen and point it slightly off-centre -- a weird fractal effect should start to appear.
- enable the 'inverted colours' mode -- you get a cool strobe effect.

this camera is too shit to do anything really interesting..."- zoom right in to the screen and point it slightly off-centre -- a weird fractal effect should start to appear."
agreed, some of the best effects are found whilst doing a dolly zoom whilst the Point of Focus is just off centre ;)
"- enable the 'inverted colours' mode -- you get a cool strobe effect." not tried that.
Did capture a nice one a while ago with the same cam:-

Nice!The first effect I mentioned happens when zoomed right in, strange pixellated patterns start to appear (like the ones pictured on this Wikipedia article) that don't seem to bear any relation to the input signal.
