Creative Filter CharacteristicsApplying a creative filter when shooting
Applying Creative filter processing to images that have already been shot
Except in the Scene Intelligent Auto, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control, and Movie shooting modes, you can apply a Creative filter and check the effect and composition. When you take the picture, only the image applied with the Creative filter will be saved. If you want to also save the image not applied with the Creative filter, use the Creative filter during image playback
Creative Filter Characteristics
Grainy B/W | Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the contrast, you can change the black-and-white effect. |
Soft focus | Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change the degree of softness. |
Fish-eye effect | Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have a barrel-type distortion. Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the image changes. Also, since this filter effect will magnify the image center, the apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels. Set the filter effect while checking the resulting image. With the fish-eye effect, the AF will be fixed at the center AF point. |
Art bold effect | Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look threedimensional. You can adjust the contrast and saturation. Note that the sky, white walls, and similar subjects may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise. |
Water painting effect | Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. You can adjust the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise. |
Toy camera effect | Gives a color cast typical of toy cameras and darkens the image's four corners. By adjusting the color tone, you can change the color cast. |
Miniature effect | Creates a diorama effect. You can change where the image looks sharp. |
