NOTE

œWhen the resolution menu is selected in the Video Clip Shooting Screen, the remaining video recording time appears (see page 37).

About the resolution and compression settings (see page 57)

œThe image captured by a digital camera consists of a collection of small dots. The resolution refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the number, the higher the image quality. As the resolution increases, the size of the resulting data also increases, and the number of images that can be captured decreases. To compensate for this, this digital camera is able to compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression. If JPEG compression is used, when the image is returned to its original size, an extremely small portion of it is lost. The higher the compression ratio, the more of the original image is lost.

Therefore, this digital camera also allows you to store image data without any compression to ensure that none of the original image is lost. This is the Lmode. Since the image data is large when the Lmode is used, the digital camera requires approximately 30 seconds to store the data after the shutter release button is pressed, and approximately 10 seconds to display the image in the playback mode (when using the supplied 16MB CompactFlash card).

œWhen capturing images at ABresolution, it takes 5 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed before the data is recorded.
