Creative Filter Characteristics

  • Grainy B/W

    Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the contrast, you can change the black-and-white effect.

  • Soft focus

    Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change the degree of softness.

  • Fish-eye effect

    Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have barrel distortion.

    Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along the periphery of the image changes. Also, because this filter effect magnifies the center of the image, the apparent resolution at the center may degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels, so set the filter effect in step 4 () while checking the resulting image.

  • Art bold effect

    Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look more three-dimensional. By adjusting the effect, you can change the contrast and saturation. Note that subjects such as the sky or white walls may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.

  • Water painting effect

    Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. By adjusting the effect, you can change the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.

  • Toy camera effect

    Shifts colors to those typical of toy cameras and darkens the four corners of the image. Color tone options can be used to change the color cast.

  • Miniature effect

    Creates a diorama effect.

    To move the area that looks sharp (the scene frame), see step 4 ().
