Basic picture settings

JPEG resolution

When one of the JPG formats is selected (see next section) image recording is possible with 4 different resolutions (numbers of pixels). This allows you to adjust the pictures precisely to the intended use or to the available memory card capacity.

In the menu, select Resolution (3.1), and in the submenu the desired setting.

Note:

Raw images (DNG-format) are always recorded with the highest resolution, regardless of the settings for JPG-images.

File format / compression rate

Two different JPG-compression rates are available: JPG fine and JPG super fine. Both can be combined with simultaneous DNG (RAW-image data format) recording.

In the menu, select Compression (3.2), and in the submenu the desired set- ting.

Note:

The remaining number of pictures or recording time indicated on the screen are an approximation due to the fact that the file size for compressed images can vary strongly depending on the photographed subject.

White balance

In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral, i.e. natural, reproduc- tion of color in any light. It is based on the camera being preset to reproduce a particular color as white. You can choose from several presets, automatic white balance, two fixed manual settings and direct color temperature setting. Furthermore, you also have the option to fine-tune all settings precisely to the current photographic conditions and/or your own ideas.

Fixed presets

Press the WB button (1.14), and in the menu appearing on the screen, select

either AWB for automatic setting, or (for incandescent lighting), (for outdoor sunlight shots), (for electronic flash lighting), (for outdoor

shots in cloudy conditions), (for outdoor shots of subjects in the shade).
