IMAGE SIZE AND IMAGE QUALITY

Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image - smaller images are more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints.

ECON. Economy - the smallest file sizes. (JPEG)

Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of pixels in the image. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory is important, use the economy mode. Standard image quality is

Camera Notes

The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be recorded with the available memory at the camera’s image quality and size settings. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame counter displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image size and quality settings can be captured. Changing those settings may allow more images to be saved.

sufficient for normal usage. The fine mode produces the highest quality image and the largest image files.

Image size and quality must be set before the picture is taken. Changes are displayed on the LCD monitor. Image size and quality must be reset manually. Image size and quality are set in section 1 of the recording menu. See navigating the recording menu section on page 40.

If image size or quality are changed, the frame counter displays the approximate number of images that can be recorded at that setting. Images with differing sizes and qualities can be recorded. The number of images that can be recorded depends on the memory available and the file size of the images. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than others. See the chart on the following page.

COLOR MODE

The color mode controls whether an image is color or black and white. The color mode is set in section 3 of the still- image recording menu or in section 2 of the movie/audio recording menu (p. 40). The color mode cannot be changed with digital subject programs. The color mode can be assigned to the controller (p. 45).

The black & white mode produces neutral monochrome images. Sepia creates warm-tone monochrome images. The monitor live image reflects the selected color mode. The color option uses no monitor indicator when active. The color mode has no effect on image file size.
