   How about reading your manual? It would tell you!
   If you don’t have the book, download an electronic version from the Canon website.
   However, consider this for a moment -
   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 you don’t want to have included/excluded.
   • Imagine 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 http://www.picnik.com and use their effects menu which makes it very easy.

   If it’s anything like my Canon SD1000:
   - Press “func. set”
   - On the top menu press “right” until you get to “Color Accent” (eye-dropper with an ‘A’).
   - Press “func. set”.
   - Press “disp.”
   - Point the little white box at the color you want.
   - Press “left”
   - Press “up” and “down” to set the tolerance level.
   - Press “disp.”
   - Take your photo.
