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 cannot be used.

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).

After the special effects icon is selected, a menu is 1 displayed with the special effects options. Move the controller up and down to select the appropriate option (1). As each option is highlighted, the background frame or border changes accordingly. Press the controller to select the highlighted option 2

(2). Pressing the menu button cancels the operation; the live image is displayed.

Compose the subject within the frame or border. Take the picture as described in the basic recording section (p. 25).

Processing starts after the shutter releases. The processing time depends on the image-quality mode. When completed, the live image is displayed.
