Creative Filter Characteristics

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 expands the center part of the image, the resolution at the center may decrease depending on the number of recorded pixels. Check the image on the screen while setting this filter. The AF method will be either FlexiZone - Single (fixed at center) or Quick mode (fixed at center AF point).

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.
