It's not a very appropriate image for the site, I feel.– VikasJun 27, 2021 at 6:32

I wouldn't call that a camcorder effect. It's basically a photo which has had the shadows boosted, and the colours are a bit washed out.
The results and adjustments you could make would very much depend on the original photo, which we can't see.
Anyway, you can do stuff like this in Photoshop using Adobe Camera RAW filter on a Smart Object, and make adjustments to the colour temperature, pull up the shadows, and perhaps lower the vibrance, etc.

@Vikas - not sure if you have access to the removed photo, but it's what the OP is calling a camcorder effect. I don't think it looks anything like a camcorder IMHO. A camcorder was a kind of video camera you could put a VHS tape in. Jun 27, 2021 at 11:59

1@Vikas find someone with some old VHS home videos, and watch them. IMHO most good camcorders were fine and didn't do anything weird like this. They were generally just low resolution, nothing like HD video of today. That's the only real difference. Jun 27, 2021 at 12:04
