Capturing in Black-and-White, Sepia Tone, or Document

With the Effect setting, you can take black-and-white pictures, use sepia tone to give your picture an antique look, or take pictures of documents so text stands out. When using the Effects feature, the camera Preview automatically turns on so that you can see if the effect selected works well with your subject. If you like the effect, go ahead and take the picture. If you do not like the effect, select a different one before taking the picture. Once the picture is taken with the effect, the effect cannot be removed.
