About the color accent option: it seems to be a current fad that people are getting excited about!.
The camera keeps one color and turns everything else black and white!.

I would never use such a feature for the following reasons:

? You are very limited in what you can do!.
? The function isn't always reliable or accurate!. The camera's idea of "red" might be different to yours!. It will often include/exclude areas that don't want to be included/excluded!.
? What if you just happened to take your best photo ever, but instead of having a real color photo, you only have some partial b&w thing that might look totally awful!. You'd kick yourself!.
? If you do the "Selective or Partial Desaturation" (as it is called correctly) in post processing, you have much more control over it, and will get a way better result!. Plus you can keep your original color version, too!.

This also applies to any color effects done in camera like b&w or sepia - you're better off NOT to!.

If you don't have your own image editor, you can go to www!.picnik!.com and use their effects menu which makes it very easy!.
