Technical Brief-Digital cameras Page 2 Image Quality-HyPict™ Image Enhancement Technology Many digital cameras use an interpolation method to produce images with higher resolution than the camera's CCD can capture. EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology uses an exclusive interpolation method. EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology produces more accurate results because it applies image enhancement before JPEG compression. L L The EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology uses an in-camera processing system to interpolate an image using full image data. After the image is interpolated, the camera then converts it to JPEG file format. Other image enhancement technologies convert to JPEG file format before enhancement. Since JPEG conversion removes image data, these technologies do not use full image data for the interpolation, resulting in less accurate images. EPSON HyPict image enhancement technology performs all of these steps in the camera: 1. Captures image 2. Enhances and interpolates image 3. Applies JPEG compression L Image quality-Resolution modes EPSON digital cameras allows you to select different image quality settings. (Not all of these settings are available for each model.) The following chart explains the differences between the image quality settings: Key Differences HyPict™ Compression level Interpolated Description Pictures include the most detail and are ideal for enlargements. Super Fine Low compression Pictures include great detail because less image detail is removed through compression. Fall Colors! Fine High compression Standard High compression Pictures include ample detail and are suitable for most applications, including 4 x 6-inch prints.
