What’s more nine of the filters can be used when recording video as well as shooting

• Miniature: This mode lends your photos the appearance of a miniature model with stronger colours and contrast by narrowing the depth of field.

• Reflection: A simulation of a magical horizontal reflection of your subject: for example as if it or they were standing next to perfectly still water.

• Punk: Pose like Sid and Nancy and have your world turned dayglo pink with this fun feature that transforms your photos into crudely photocopied fanzine style images but in a good way.

• Pop Art: In the tradition of Andy Warhol this effect enhances colours making them stronger and more vivid. It creates high-impact pictures that express the happy light-hearted feeling of the pop art style.

• Fish-Eye: With its distorted 180-degree perspective this filter reproduces the dramatic effect of a fish-eye lens. It lends a new perspective to the whole scene with a “round” effect.

• Drawing: This filter gives the impression that subjects have been sketched on the fly by an artist just at the moment that inspiration struck. Images are transformed into line drawings for improvised creative results.

• Pin Hole: For an ethereal feel Pin Hole reduces the peripheral brightness of images like an image seen through a pinhole. Added to this is a unique colour tone that results in a style that has an air of secrecy or portrays the feeling of being lost in another dimension or space.

• Soft Focus: Give your portraits that romantic otherworldly look beloved of wedding photographers.

• Sparkle: A photos-only Magic Filter that truly imparts a sprinkling of fairy dust adding twinkling reflections to shiny objects.

• Watercolour: With this option pictures are transformed into a watercolour painting framed by soft light.

• Fragmented: A photos only Magic Filter to bring a dose of creativity to any image.
