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 amount trimmed along the image periphery will change. Also, since this filter effect magnifies 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. The AF method will either be FlexiZone - Single (fixed at center) or Quick mode.

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.
