  • To maximize the benefits of the art filters, some of the shooting function settings are disabled.
  • If [RAW] is currently selected for image quality, image quality will automatically be set to [YN+RAW]. The art filter will be applied to the JPEG copy only.

    gSelecting image quality (Still image quality, KK)

  • Depending on the subject, tone transitions may be ragged, the effect may be less noticeable, or the image may become more “grainy.”
  • Some effects may not be visible in live view or during movie recording.
  • Your choice of filters, effects, and movie quality when recording movies may affect playback speed and smoothness.
