Area shot and quality setting
Normal shooting provides an aspect ratio of 4:3 and %
shooting provides an aspect ratio of 3:2 (same aspect ratio as
35 mm film and post card).
MEMO
• The bigger the number of recorded pixels, the better the
image quality becomes. As the number of recorded
pixels becomes smaller, you will be able to record more
frames to an xD-Picture Card.
• The quality setting is retained even when the camera is
turned off or the mode setting is changed.
• When changing the quality setting, the number of
available frames also changes (➝p.150). The numbers
to the right of setting show the number of available
frames.
