SPECIAL EFFECTS

The special-effects option in the main menu adds frames and borders to images or combines two images side by side. Required menu functions should be set before selecting the special effects icon on the menu. Once the special-effects routine begins, menu functions cannot be changed until the operation is completed. The

continuous-advance and multi-frame drive modes are temporarily set to single-frame advance.

Adding a frame or border

An image can be captured with a frame or border using the special-effects option in the main recording menu (p. 36).
