Image Resolution

There are 4 resolution settings available for taking still pictures: 3680x2760, 2592x1944, 2048x1536 and 1280x960. The images with higher resolution are applicable to printing. However this will require more memory space and slightly longer saving time. The 3680x2760 and 2592x1944 resolutions use Software Interpolation Technology. If you need a high quality image, it is not recommended to use this resolution setting.

Image Quality

The camera provides 2 image quality settings: High and Normal. The main difference is the image compression ratio. For example, High quality has the smallest compression ratio and largest file size, but the image quality is the best.

White Balance

Have you ever wondered why pictures taken indoors sometimes come out looking yellow? The reason is that different lighting sources produce different colors of light (a flash bulb produces a very white light, while a 100 watt incandescent bulb produces a very yellow-looking light). Our brain automatically adjusts the color so that a white object always appears white regardless of the lighting condition, but a photograph records the true color. To compensate for this, the DXG-303 camera can shift the RGB color balance of the ambient light so that the color in the photograph appears as it should. This process is referred to as “matching the white balance”.

There are 5 white balance settings available in the Picture Mode:

Auto: automatically adjusts the white balance; applicable to general-purpose photography.

Sunny: for use outdoors when it is bright and sunny.

Tungsten: for use indoors with incandescent lighting.

Fluorescent: for use indoors with fluorescent lighting.

Cloudy: for use outdoors when it is a cloudy or shady day.
