Olympus Art Filters

Art Filter Descriptions from Olympus.

Pop Art
This filter enhances colors and expresses a bright, joyful atmosphere with a pop art style.
Soft Focus
This filter expresses an ethereal atmosphere with a soft tone, producing a beautiful image with fantasy-like style.
Pale & Light Color
This camera encloses the reality in front of the camera in flat, gently lighted, floating serenely in its own world, as if recalling an old memory of a landscape.
Light Tone
This filter renders both the highlights and shadows more softly to express an atmosphere like the one obtained by lighting the subject in a studio.
Grainy Film
This filter recreates the strong presence and dramatic atmosphere proper to a monochrome picture with rough grains, making the subject impressive in a style that emphasizes the theme of the picture.
Pin Hole
This filter reduces the peripheral brightness like a photo shot with a toy camera and finishes the picture in a style featuring unique color tones.
Diorama
This filter turns the real world in front of the camera into a world of toys. A rapid variation in the focus confuses the feeling of distance and the enhanced color development creates a surreal miniature world. [works best if shooting down at an angle, say from a building into a street .... Guy]
Gentle Sepia
This filter accentuates the soft expression overall with shadows and muted contrast, producing a graceful, old-fashioned image with a quiet atmosphere.
Cross Process
This filter reproduces an unrealistic or unstable atmosphere with unexpected color development like that produced when a positive film is developed in the negative film process with digital processing.
Dramatic Tone
This filter provides a daily landscape with a dramatic impression. It applies local changes in contrast to the image to represent the real space in a fictitious style by creating unrealistic tones of light and darkness.
