Canon S3 IS Digital Camera User Manual


 
Using the Mode Dial
53
You can easily change the colors in an image when it is shot for both
stills and movies, allowing you to enjoy producing various effects.
Depending on the shooting conditions, however, the images may
appear rough, or you may not get the expected color. Before
photographing important subjects, we recommend taking trial shots
and checking the results. By setting the [Save Original] function
(p. 56) to [On] when shooting stills, you can also record both the
altered image and the original, unaltered image.
Shooting with Color Accent Mode
1 Use the W or X button to select
(Color Accent) SET button.
zThe camera will switch to color input
mode, and the display will alternate

appears at the center of the LCD monitor (or
viewfinder) and press the W button.
