BASIC MODE

HINT

œAt Aand Bresolutions, the camera processes the image internally to produce a 3,264 x 2,448-pixel or 2,880 x 2,160-pixel image.

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

NOTE

About the resolution and compression settings (see page 81)

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 played back, an extremely small portion of it is lost. The higher the compression rate, 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 dmode. Since the image data is large when the dmode is used, compared to JPEG compression, the digital camera requires more time both to store the data after the shutter release button is pressed and to display the image in the playback mode.
