Advanced Shooting Functions
Allows you to easily transform the colors in an image when
shooting. This feature can be used for both still shots and movies,
and offers you the enjoyment of staging image and movie effects.
However, depending on the shooting conditions, there are
occasions when the image may appear rough, or you may not
obtain the desired color. Therefore, before you shoot important
subjects, we recommend that you shoot trial images and check the
results. Moreover, when shooting still images, the camera will
record both the My Colors image as well as the original unaltered
image when [Save Original] (p. 81) is set to [On].
