Notes
• When the zoom feature of the camera (ZOOM) is used, the [Toy Camera] and
[Miniature] effects are not available.
• When [Partial Color] is selected, images may not retain the selected color,
depending on the subject or shooting condition.
• When the exposure mode is set to Intelligent Auto, Superior Auto, Sweep Panorama,
3D Sweep Panorama or Continuous Advance Priority AE Mode, or when [Quality]
is set to [RAW] or [RAW & JPEG], Picture Effect cannot be used.
• When [HDR Painting], [Miniature], [Rich-tone Mono.] or [Soft Focus] is selected,
you cannot confirm the effect before shooting. You cannot also set the drive mode.
• When the contrast of the scene is low or when significant camera shake or subject
blur has occurred with [HDR Painting] or [Rich-tone Mono.] selected, you may not
obtain good HDR images. If the camera detects such situation,
is indicated on the
recorded image to inform you of this situation. Shoot again, as necessary,
recomposing or paying attention to the blur.
You can select the desired style to be used to perform image processing,
and adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness for each Creative Style.
You can also adjust the exposure (shutter speed and aperture), unlike Scene
Selection where the camera adjusts the exposure.
(Miniature) Creates an image which enhances the subject vividly, with
the background defocused considerably. This effect may
often be found in pictures of miniature models. You can
select the area to be in focus with b/B. The focus on other
areas is greatly reduced.
