Record mode (Cont.)

● Resolution:

The number of pixels (vertical x horizontal) used when saving an image. If

the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are

recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher

resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so less pictures

can be saved to a card.

● Resolution and picture size on a computer screen:

When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the

computer screen varies depending on the computer's monitor setting.

For instance, a picture taken in 640x480 resolution is the same size as

the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is

640x480. However, if the monitor setting is over 640x480 (such as

1024x768), the picture only takes up part of the screen.

● Compression rate:

In record modes other than TIFF, image data is compressed. The higher

the compression rate, the less clear the image will be.

● File format (P. 113):

This camera saves images with either TIFF or JPEG formats. In record

modes other than TIFF, images are compressed in the JPEG format. The

compression rate also varies in each mode (movies: Motion JPEG (mov)

format).

TIPS

● The number of storable pictures differs depending on the record mode, the

card’s memory size and whether or not print reserve is applied for the card.

● The number of storable pictures may not be reduced every time a picture is

taken, or increased when a picture is erased. The amount of data varies

depending on the subject of the image.

● If you set VIDEO OUTPUT to PAL and record movies with the AV cable

connected, the maximum recording time may be different from the table on

page 113.
