Grainy B/W
Creates a grainy black-and-white photo. You can change the black-
and-white effect by adjusting the contrast.
Soft focus
Gives the image a soft look. You can change the degree of softness
by adjusting the blur.
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
expands the image center, the image resolution at the center may
decrease depending on the recording quality. Set the filter while
checking how the image looks. The AF method will be set to
FlexiZone - Single (fixed at center) or Quick mode (fixed at center).
Art bold effect
Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look three-
dimensional. 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.
