Camera settings

FOCUS LAMP

In the autofocus mode, the camera focuses as soon as the shutter release is pressed halfway.

Simple diagram with sun icon, circle, and rectangular frame (no text or symbols)

If the green focus lamp blinks, check the following:

• Is the camera in the autofocus mode and are you trying to focus on a subject that is difficult to focus automatically? (See page 37)
• Is your subject closer than the minimum focusing distance (or farther away than 40 cm in the macro mode)?

Focus lamp lit	Focus set and locked in
Focus lamp blinks rapidly (approx. 8 times per second)	Focus detection impossible, but shutter can be released

FOCUSING RANGE IN AUTOFOCUS MODE (shortest focusing distance)

The minimum focusing distance in autofocus mode is listed below. If your subject is closer than 0,4 m or farther away than 40 cm in macro mode, autofocusing is impossible, and the green focus lamp will blink.

Standard mode 0.4 m - ∞ (infinity)
Macro mode (see page 53) 4 cm –	40 cm

SPECIAL FOCUSING CONDITIONS

In the autofocus mode, the camera uses the image contrast (the difference between bright and dark components) on the CCD (charge-coupled device) for focus detection. This is why there are certain types of subject that are unsuitable for autofocusing. In such a case use focus lock (see page 38): Sight a subject detail at the same distance as your main subject and lock focus. Alternatively, you may switch to manual focusing (see page 39).

Subject too dark.

Subject contrast too low (e.g. blue sky or white wall).

Autofocus area captures detail at different distances.

Subject too bright (e.g. highly reflecting car paint or glittering water surface).

FOCUS LOCK

(for off-center subjects)

If your main subject is off center, the camera will focus on the background in the center of the field. In this case, use focus lock.

The settings for IMAGE QUALITY, IMAGE SIZE, WHITE BALANCE and SHARPNESS will be described on the following pages.

The camera has three image-quality modes: FINE, STD. (Standard) and ECON. (Economy).

Image quality is a function of compression rate. This changes in the following order: FINE /E STD. /E ECON. The higher the compression rate, the lower image quality. For maximum quality choose FINE. The lower the compression rate (the higher image quality), the lower the number of images that can be saved on a CF card.

The following table lists the compression rates, capture format, file sizes and the number of images that can be stored on an 8MB CF card in FINE, STD. and ECON. mode, respectively.

Compression rate FINE STD. (Standard) ECON. (Economy) approx. 1/6STD. approx. 1/12 approx. 1/25
Capture format Exif2.1 –JPEG (DCF standard)
File size approx. 910 kB approx. 560 kB approx. 230 kB
Max. number of images on an 8MB CF card	approx. 8 (approx. 28)	approx. 13 (approx. 43)	33 (approx. 99)

The PRINT (DPOF print settings) and FOLDER (folder name) options will be described on the following pages.

Your digital camera supports DPOF ^4 (Digital Print Order Format), version 1.00. This lets you select the type and number of prints. In other words, you may turn over your CompactFlash or SmartMedia card on which you have saved your images together with DPOF data directly to your processing laboratory to obtain the preselected number of prints. Neither need you assign file names nor a password to the DPOF files. Alternatively, you may insert your memory card directly in your printer (which should support DPOF) for automatic printout of the preset number of copies.

* The DPOF format was developed jointly by the Eastman Kodak Company, Canon Inc., Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., with the purpose of permitting print settings to be made directly in digital cameras.
* Your Rollei 23 com does not support the DPOF version 1.10 introduced in July 2000.

    D --> E["Pict0001.jpg"]
    D --> F["Pict0002.jpg"]
    D --> G["Pict0003.jpg"]

The file name of the image to be saved consists of “Pict”, a four-digit number and “.jpg”. Up to 9999 files are saved in the folder “100mlt02” (last file name “Pict9999.jpg”). Starting with frame number 10,000, a new file “01mlt02” is created in the “Dcim” file. Consequently, frame No. 10,000 will be saved in folder “101mlt02” under the name “pict0001.jpg”. If you take over 10,000 pictures, there will be two folders on your CF card. You can select the folder containing the image to be played back by the folder names displayed in the playback menu.

You can even play back pictures taken with another digital camera supporting the DCF format by simply selecting the proper folder in the playback menu.

Notes on the DCF format (Design Rule for Camera File System)

DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) is the format developed by JEIDA as a digital-camera standard.

This format makes it possible to exchange image files between digital equipment conforming to DCF.

The following options are available with equipment conforming to DCF:

• Images can be played back on the LCD screen of another digital camera.
• The image files recorded with certain other digital cameras can be printed out.
• Recording media, such as CF or SmartMedia' cards, are interchangeable between digital cameras.
• When using a DCF-compatible computer, even the image data of some other digital cameras are available.
