■Image Resolution

Four resolution options are available for taking still images, including VGA, 3MP, 5MP, and 8MP. Pictures with higher resolution can be printed clearly, but consume more memory and take longer to write to memory. The resolution of 8MP applies to firmware interpolation, and is not recommended for pictures that require high detail.

the picture compression ratio. For example,	has the highest compression ratio. It takes up the least

memory, but it has the lowest picture quality.

●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-502 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”.

The Manual Mode offers five settings of White Balance.

Auto: Automatically matches White Balance; suitable for general picture taking. Daylight: For taking pictures outdoors in natural lighting.
