What is Creative Look?

Creative Look is a preset available within selected Sony cameras that offers 10 unique preset looks. These looks are achieved by changing a combination of settings from colour tone and contrast, to saturation, sharpness, brightness and more.

Full-Frame Sony camera benefits like accurate Eye AF tracking, smooth bokeh and a wide dynamic range, coupled with the convenience of Creative Look, unlock a whole world of creative possibilities.

Let’s take a look at 4 popular Creative Look presets in particular with stills taken with the Alpha 7C II.
