Image Quality: FX and DX Formats At default settings, image quality is not automatically adjusted when you switch between FX and DX image areas. As a result, pictures taken using the smaller DX image area will not be the same quality as FX-format images when printed at the same size. From camera firmware version A 2.00/ B 2.00 or later, you can automatically switch image quality settings when you switch between FX and DX formats: q Create one shooting menu bank for FX format and a second shooting menu bank with higher image quality and size settings for DX format. w Select Shooting menu bank for Custom Setting f4 (Assign FUNC. button) > FUNC. button + dials. You can then use the Fn button and command dials to switch instantly between the two banks. DX-format image area FX-format image area 22
