Solution
Images can have the effects of shooting in [Fish-eye effect], [Art bold effect], [Water painting effect], [Miniature effect], [Toy camera effect], [Soft focus], and [Grainy B/W] modes applied to them, then be saved as a separate image.
IMPORTANT
When you shoot in Creative Filter mode, the camera saves only the image with the filter effect applied. If you also want to save the image without a filter effect applied, take the picture without a filter effect. Then apply a filter effect and save it as a new image.
NOTE
Try taking some test shots first, to make sure you obtain the desired results.
 | Monochrome (Grainy B/W) | Take monochrome pictures with a gritty, rough feeling. |
 | Soft Focus Effect | This function allows you to shoot images as if a soft focus filter were attached to the camera. You can adjust the effect level as desired. |
 | Fish-Eye Effect | Shoot with the distorting effect of a fish-eye lens. |
 | Art Bold Effect | Make subjects look more substantial, like subjects in oil paintings. |
 | Water Painting Effect | Soften colors, for photos resembling watercolor paintings. |
 | Toy Camera Effect | This effect makes images resemble shots from a toy camera by vignetting (darker, blurred image corners) and changing the overall color. |
 | Miniature Effect | Creates the effect of a miniature model, by blurring image areas above and below your selected area. You can also make movies that look like scenes in miniature models by choosing the playback speed before the movie is recorded. People and objects in the scene will move quickly during playback. Note that sound is not recorded. |
