To exit Color Accent mode on the Canon PowerShot S90 and see colors normally in video mode, follow these steps:

1. Press the l button to access the Color Accent settings.
2. Select a different shooting mode, such as Auto or Program mode, using the mode dial.
3. Ensure that Color Accent is not selected in the shooting menu.

This will restore full-color capture in video mode.
