Cross Process mode enables you to take pictures with colors that give a different impression than those seen with the eye. So how are they different from the colors of a normal photograph? I performed some experiments to find out.

When film is developed, the process used is different for negative and positive film. If negative film is developed using a positive-film process or vice versa, the result is a photograph with unusual and sometimes mysterious colors. This is known as cross processing.
As the name implies, Cross Process mode enables you to photograph the same scene and get different and unusual color schemes, as shown in the photographs above. The color setting options available are basic, magenta, and yellow.

Whichever color I selected, the impression produced was different from normally shot photos. Especially with the sky and green and pale colors, the result was an image with mysterious hues. In addition, I found that putting the subject just a bit out of focus and shooting with Cross Process on "basic" gave a retro feel to the image. For detailed operation instructions, see below.
