Changing the Save Method for the 
Original Image
When you are shooting still images in a My Colors mode, 
you can specify whether or not both the altered image and 
the original image are recorded.
1 (Rec.) Menu [Save Original]
[On]/[Off].
See Menus and Settings (p. 27).
zIf [On] is selected, the two 
images will be numbered 
consecutively with the 
altered image following the 
original.
When [Save Original] is Set to [On]
- Only the altered image is shown in the LCD monitor 
during shooting.
- The image that appears in the LCD monitor 
immediately after recording is the altered image. If 
you erase the image at this point, the original image 
is erased along with the altered image.
Exercise adequate caution before deleting a file.
- Since two images are recorded with each shot, the 
number of shots remaining is approximately half the 
number displayed when this function is set to [Off].
