The colour accent function

This is a shot of Amirrul @ Yap in partial B&W
The colour accent mode uses a strong skin tone as its strong hue and the background is in black and white

With the colour accent mode

I learned a neat trick with my powershot G-7 and G-9. It has a 'colour accent' function that enables stronger hues to stand out in a black-and-white shot.

Sorta like colour tinting without all the messy work. The effect is cool and I first used it at Michelle's cousin's wedding (a sucky affair).

Anyways, there are even more functions on the G-9 that I hardly use. The B&W accent mode is something that I would try from time to time...
