If the camera is set to capture the image in JPEG, it will capture the image in JPEG only (with the art filter applied).
If the camera is set to RAW+JPEG, however, only the JPEG image is processed with the Art Filter—the RAW file remains a normal RAW file so that the original image is preserved.

Art Filters allow you to control various creative effects, transforming your photography into works of art. The best thing about Art Filters is that they are built right into the camera. With most other cameras, you would need to generate these effects on a computer with post-processing software. Another great benefit of in-camera Art Filters is that you can preview these effects on your camera's large Live View LCD even before you take the shot.
How to Set and Use the Art Filters:
- Set the mode dial to
- Use
to scroll through and select your desired Art Filter - Press
to select Art Filter - Begin Shooting
When the mode dial is set to Art Filter, using the right/left navigation keys on the back of the camera will shift the display from Art Filter to Scene Modes.

The effects of each Art Filter are fixed; however on E-System, PEN, OM-D, XZ and select Stylus cameras, you can adjust a few aspects of the exposure such as:
- Exposure Compensation
- Flash Intensity Adjustment

Check out these examples of what you can do with Art Filters. Please note, available art filters vary by camera model.
Pop Art
Pop Art super-saturates colors, creating brighter, more vivid photographs.
Soft Focus
Soft Focus creates a dreamlike quality giving photographs a surreal look.
Pale and Light Color
Pale and Light Color brings soft, flat light and pastel coloring to photographs.
Light Tone
Light Tone brightens the image, and its darker areas, providing more detail.
Grainy Film
Grainy Film produces a gritty black-and-white film quality.
Pin Hole
Pin Hole darkens the outer edges of a photograph, therefore enhancing the subject in the center and bringing the photograph to life.
Diorama
The Diorama art filter gives users a miniature model photo feeling by narrowing the depth of focus and enhancing color and contrast.
Gentle Sepia
Gentle Sepia gives your images and videos a soft, warm sepia cast similar to historical images from the early days of photography. The sepia tones are softer and the blacks are a true black, unlike traditional sepia images.
Cross Process
The Cross Process art filter offers an unexpected look to images and videos by changing the color and contrast of subjects on the fly. Using this mode can result in surreal otherworldly images.
