5.25.11 MINIATURE MODE

This feature is kind of misleadingly named. It is claimed to give the image
a feel of what the old Japanese Monster movies used to look like – the giant
monsters were actually miniatures filmed in a certain way that exaggerated
the shallow depth-of-field, trying to make it look like it would normally
look had the monster actually been monster-sized.
So all this feature does is selectively apply the soft-focus function
rd
demonstrated earlier to all but 1/3 of the image, plus it exaggerates color
intensity to an unreal degree. And to help you compose properly, the
rd
camera will show you which 1/3 of the image will be sharp while you’re
shooting in this mode.
