Pictures Effect Mode
Hopefully other manufacturers will follow Nikon’s lead of getting rid of cheesy picture effects modes like adding birthday hats or cartoon flowers to your images in-camera. Aside from some basic color modes – Standard, Vivid Color, Black & White, Sepia and Cool – there are no picture effects on these models, thank goodness. I suppose it’s a matter of taste.
