Picture Effects Mode
The LZ5 and LZ3 offer two sets of options for color adjustment. The subtle ones are under the "Picture Adjust" menu item, where the user can choose from Natural, Standard, and Vivid, which progressively increase saturation. The bolder ones are called "Color Effects" in the menu, and they include black-and-white, sepia, cool tone, and warm tone. All these effects work in movie mode as well as on stills.
