Some if the art filters are quite good actually. Dramatic tone works well under cloudy skies. One thing to make sure you do is to turn on the 1/8 second shutter delay to reduce shutter shock. That will ensure better clarity at low shutter speeds. I've used the soft focus art filter on portraits and the sunset filter on Autumn foliage. Indoors I often set white balance manually for mixed lighting. The jpegs have a lot of latitude when it comes to PP so I leave the settings to default. If you change your mind about using the filters shoot in raw plus jpeg and use the bracketing feature for Art Filters. You will have at least the RAW file if you don't like the filter effects. Its listed in the Art filter menu. I don't use them a lot but its fun to play with. Sometimes the results are surprising.

Thanks for the tips on built-in filters.

Where do I turn on the 1/8 second shutter delay?

Go to the exposure ISO menu in settings. Antishock is near the bottom of the list. Set it to on. Then in the SCP select the drive settings with the diamond symbol. I assume you have turned on the menu displays and the SCP. I don't know how familiar you are with this camera. The two menus to turn on are found in the menu designated by the wrench. When you turn them on a gear icon will now appear in the setup menu. If you select it there is a control sub menu. That is where you turn on and off the the SCP and the other camera control software, live view and live guide. Hoped that helped.
