Shooting in a My Colors Mode
Shooting Mode 
A My Colors mode easily changes the colors in an image when it is shot, allowing you to alter the balance between red, green and blue, transform pale or tanned skin or change a color specified in the LCD monitor into a different color. Since they work with both stills and movies, these modes let you enjoy producing various image or movie effects.
However, depending on the shooting conditions, the images may appear rough or you may not get the expected color. Before you try to photograph important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot trial images and check the results.
Moreover, the camera will record both the My Colors image and the original unaltered image if you set [Save Original] (p. 104) to [On].
