Quality

You can increase the number of recordable pictures without changing the picture size if quality is set to [STANDARD].

TIFF (Uncompressed):

This type is suitable when editing and processing pictures with retouch software.

Fine (Low compression):

This gives priority to picture quality. Picture quality will be high.

Standard (High compression): This gives priority to the number of recordable pictures. Standard quality pictures are recorded.

The number of pixels that can be selected differs depending on the aspect ratio. If you change the aspect ratio, set the picture size.

“EZ” is an abbreviation of [Extended optical Zoom]. This is a function which further extends the optical zoom ratio. If you select a picture size with EZ displayed, the zoom ratio is extended to a maximum of 16.5k when the digital zoom is set to [OFF]. (P31)

The extended optical zoom does not work in [HIGH SENS.] in scene mode so the picture size for [EZ] is not displayed.

In motion picture mode [ ], the picture size is fixed to VGA (640k480 pixels), QVGA (320k240 pixels) or 16:9 (848k480 pixels).

Pictures may appear mosaic depending on the subject and the recording conditions.

Refer to P117 for information about the number of recordable pictures.

The number of recordable pictures depends on the subject.

The number of recordable pictures displayed on the screen may not correspond with recorded frames.

In simple mode [ ], the settings become as follows.

ENLARGE:

[ ] (6M [ ])/Fine

4qk6q/10k15cm:

[ ] (2.5M EZ [ ])/Standard

E-MAIL:

[ ] (0.3M EZ [ ])/Standard
