Types of art filters
| a | Pop Art I/II | Creates an image that emphasizes the beauty of color. |
|---|---|---|
| b | Soft Focus | Creates an image that expresses a soft tone atmosphere. |
| c | Pale&Light Color I/II | Creates an image that expresses warm light by scattering overall light and slightly overexposing the image. |
| d | Light Tone | Creates a high-quality image by softening both shadows and highlights. |
| e | Grainy Film I/II | Creates an image that expresses the roughness of black and white images. |
| f | Pin Hole I/II/III | Creates an image that looks as if it was taken using an old or toy camera by dimming the image perimeter. |
| g | Diorama I/II | Creates a miniature-like image by emphasizing saturation and contrast, and blurring unfocused areas. |
| h | Cross Process I/II | Creates an image that expresses a surreal atmosphere. Cross Process II creates an image that emphasizes magenta. |
| i | Gentle Sepia | Creates a high-quality image by drawing out shadows and softening the overall image. |
| j | Dramatic Tone I/II | Creates an image that emphasizes the difference between brightness and darkness by partially increasing contrast. |
| k | Key Line I/II | Creates an image that emphasizes edges and adds an illustrative style. |
| l | Watercolor I/II | Creates a soft, bright image by removing dark areas, blending pale colors on a white canvas, and further softening contours. |
| m | Vintage I/II/III | Expresses an everyday shot in a nostalgic, vintage tone using printed film discoloration and fading. |
| n | Partial Color I/II/III | Impressively expresses a subject by extracting colors you want to emphasize and keeping everything else monotone. |
| o | Bleach Bypass I/II | The “bleach bypass” effect, which you may recognize from motion pictures and the like, can be used to great effect in shots of streetscapes or metal objects. |
| p | Instant Film | A contemporary take on the shadow and skin tones typical of film. |
| x | ART BKT (ART bracketing) | Records images using all art filter options with a single shot. Press the G button, select [ART BKT Setting], and press the OK button to select the filter to be recorded. |
