CCD Look Guide: Capture Retro Colors with Settings (Y2K)
The "CCD look" effect is a sense of "character" created not only by the sensor but also by the flash , white balance , exposure , and scene selection. In this guide, we've compiled the settings that will allow you to quickly capture the Y2K aesthetic with a retro digital camera.
Quick Setup Set (Beginner)
1
Flash: On
The cornerstone of the Y2K feel: a glossy finish + strong "snap" contrast.
2
EV: -0.3 / -0.7
It makes the flash more "fierce but cleaner".
3
WB: Auto or Flash
Those who want a "cool white" can try Flash WB.
4
Resolution: Medium-High
Balanced quality for sharing and cropping.
A Short Note on "Camera Selection" for CCD Look
Those looking for a CCD look generally gravitate towards compact "digicam" series. When browsing stock at RetroCameraLand, series like Canon IXUS/PowerShot , Sony Cyber-shot , Fujifilm FinePix , and Casio Exilim are frequently chosen.
