Chapter 6 Record mode (Cont.) TIPS ● 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. 103): 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). Note ● The card memory capacity listed in the table is approximate (P. 103). ● 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. ● When VIDEO OUT is set to PAL (P.166) T If movie pictures are shot with the video cable connected, the maximum recording time may be different from the table on page 103. 105
