CHANGING THE IMAGE SIZE OR PICTURE QUALITY (cont.)

EN 23

Changing the picture quality, etc.

In addition to changing the size of an image, it is also possible to rotate images, change or correct the quality of an image, and change the file format of an image. The role of each setting is described in more detail below.

[90 degrees Rotation]

If you hold the camcorder sideways when recording an image, you can create an image that is taller than it is wide. Because this still image will be displayed sideways, use this function to rotate the image 90 degrees to the portrait orientation.

[None]: No correction

[Clockwise]: Rotates the image 90 degrees clockwise.

[Counterclockwise]: Rotates the image 90 degrees counterclockwise.

[Image Correction (DV)]

This setting is not available.

[Format]

You can select the file format of an image.

[JPEG]: This is the format that is typically used on the Internet. This format has a smaller file size.

[BITMAP]: This is the standard Windows® image format (BMP). Many applications can use this format.

[JPEG Quality]

This setting is available when JPEG was selected in the [Format] field. Moving the slider to the left makes the file smaller. Moving the slider to the right results in less deterioration in the image quality. The initial setting is 75.

NOTES:

When [JPEG] is selected in the [Format] field, the quality of the image deteriorates slightly each time that [OK] is clicked for the [Image Format] dialog box. To restore the original image quality, reload the original still image file.

To confirm the file size, right-click the still image and then select [Properties].
