IMPORTANT

When you shoot in Creative Filter mode, the camera saves only the image with the filter effect applied. If you also want to save the image without a filter effect applied, take the picture without a filter effect. Then apply a filter effect and save it as a new image.

NOTE

Try taking some test shots first, to make sure you obtain the desired results.
