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 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 in step 4 while checking the resulting image.

Toy camera effect

Darkens the photo’s corners and applies a color tone that makes it look as if it was shot by a toy camera. You can change the color cast by adjusting the color tone.

Miniature effect

Creates a diorama effect. You can change where the image looks sharp. In step 4 on page 234, if you press the <B> button, you can switch between the white frame’s vertical and horizontal orientations.
