Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and 

portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects 

give free reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons.  HDR Painting creates a rich 

painted look.  Rich-tone Monochrome produces an artistic black and white image. Miniature 

transforms mundane landscapes into fascinating works of art. Toy camera transitions an ordinary 

photo  into one with high contrast, tunnel view, and four color shifts. Partial color results in a 

stunning monochrome photo containing a single designated color. High-key creates photos with 

heightened brightness for a soft clean look.

Clear image digital zoom

Clear image digital zoom maintains a high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and 

vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image. 

With By Pixel Super Resolution processing, the camera’s 5x optical zoom range is extended, 

allowing full resolution 16.2MP images with a maximum 10x zoom.
