Recording
Picture is taken darker and with soft focus around the subjects.
• Face Detection may not operate normally in the dark areas around the edges of the screen.
Picture is taken with a grainy texture as though blasted with sand.
You can use this mode to easily record pictures in which bright and dark regions of the
scene are expressed with suitable brightness when looking into the sun, at night, or in
similar circumstances.
• Setting the effect
[STD.]: Natural color effect
[ART]: Eye-catching effect which emphasizes contrast and color
[B&W]:Black and white effect
• Compensation effect may not be achieved depending on the conditions.
• When it is dark, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.
• Shutter speed may slow down up to 8 seconds.
• The shutter may remain closed (max. about 8 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal
processing. This is not a malfunction.
• LCD screen noise may be more visible than during normal recording due to brightness
compensation of the darker areas.
