4 Record mode, white balance, and picture mode Selecting the record mode You can select a record mode in which to take pictures. Choose the record mode that is best for your purpose (printing, editing on a PC, website editing, etc.). Recording formats JPEG For JPEG images, select a combination of image size (Y, X, W) and compression rate (SF, F, N, B). An image consists of pixels (dots). When you enlarge an image with a low pixel count, it will be displayed as a mosaic. If an image has a high pixel count, the file size (amount of data) will be larger and the number of storable still pictures will be lower. The higher the compression, the smaller the file size. However, the image will have less clarity when played back. 4 Image with a high pixel count Record mode, white balance, and picture mode Image with a low pixel count Image becomes clearer Number of pixels increases Application Number of pixels Y (Large) Select for the X (Middle) print size For smallsized prints and use on a web site W (Small) Pixel count 4032 × 3024 3200 × 2400 2560 × 1920 1600 × 1200 1280 × 960 1024 × 768 640 × 480 SF (Super Fine) 1/2.7 YSF XSF WSF Compression rate F (Fine) 1/4 N (Normal) 1/8 YF YN B (Basic) 1/12 YB XF XN XB WF WN WB RAW This is unprocessed data that has not undergone changes in white balance, sharpness, contrast or color.
