20EN CHANGINGTHEIMAGEFORMAT

You can select JPEG, Bitmap (BMP) or DVF format for saving images, and adjust their settings.

JPEG Preferences

JPEG images are saved with a high compression rate, making them ideal for Internet web pages.

1 Select Preferences — Save Image in the Index window or Image Viewer window.

2 Select JPEG in Image Format.

3 Select an image size in Image Size.

•If the video footage was shot in the wide-screen mode, the image width is greater than in the standard mode. Image width in the widescreen mode is shown in brackets.

4 Select the JPEG image quality using the JPEG Quality slider.

5 Select the type of image correction to use by selecting either None, Movement or Field in Image Correction.

•Movement: Image blur caused by camera shake is corrected.

•Field: Saves images to the hard drive faster than when Movement is selected.

6 You can preview your settings by clicking Preview. When you are finished, click OK.

7 Save images as desired. (see pages 12 and 23)

NOTE

•Moving the JPEG Quality slider to the right lowers the compression rate, resulting in higher image quality and increased file size. Moving the JPEG Quality slider to the left raises the compression rate, resulting in lower image quality and decreased file size.

•By using compression, you can fit more images onto a floppy disk, hard disk, etc.
