Selective Color in point and shoot cameras


Recommended Posts

I don't know if that's the official name but its just choosing a certain color and only getting that color in picture. I don't know if this is a sony, canon, or nikon specific tool, but I tried googling and only found the Canon SD870 IS has it in it. Is that the only one? I know my friends have some other ones that also do this. Could anyone point me in that direction?

One of my friends is looking to buy a new camera and she isn't a technologically inclined person lol, she cares about if it's a cute color and if it does that. Just trying to help her out, but it seems harder than I thought.

its called 'color accent mode' or 'color swap' ...the Canon S5, PowerShot SX1 IS, PowerShot SX10 IS,PowerShot G10 also have this feature.

Can my Nikon D60 do this!?

Not in camera. Shoot in RAW and then dump the image into Photoshop and you can do it as much as you want though.

ALMOST all Canon point and shoot cameras can do this actually. The Ixus series do it as well.

Sony doesn't have any single camera that does it as far as I know.
