allowing you to alter the balance between red, green and blue, transform
pale or tanned skin or change a color specified in the LCD monitor into a
different color. Since they work with both stills and movies, these modes

However, depending on the shooting conditions, the images may appear
rough or you may not get the expected color. Before you try to photograph
important subjects, we highly recommend that you shoot trial images and
check the results. Moreover, the camera will record both the My Colors
image and the original unaltered image if you set [Save Original] (p. 54) to
