Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory, or on a memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large files sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.

High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.

To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:

1. Set the mode dial to one of the photography modes.
2. Press the MENU button.

[Picture] of the photography menu is displayed.

1. Select [Size] with the / buttons, and press the SET button.
2. Select the desired setting with the / buttons, and press the SET button.
3. Select [Quality] with the / buttons, and press the SET button.
4. Select the desired setting with the / buttons, and press the SET button.
5. To exit from the photography menu, press the MENU button.

PHOTOGRAPHY MODE

[A] Auto Photography Mode

Auto photography is a typical method of photography. Photographs can be taken simply

because the exposure (the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting) is controlled automatically to suit the photographic conditions. You can use both a viewfinder and a 2.0" LCD monitor to compose the images. Taking photographs using the viewfinder will conserve the battery power. If the battery power is low, it is recommended that you only compose images using the viewfinder. Using the LCD monitor, you can compose images more accurately, but at the cost of the battery consumption.

Using the Viewfinder

Make sure that the battery is inserted before taking photographs.

1. Press the POWER button to turn the power on.
2. Set the mode dial to [ ]
3. Compose your shot in the viewfinder.

Turn the "diopter adjustment dial" until the image appears clearly within the viewfinder.

1. Press the shutter button.

2. Pressing the shutter button down halfway automatically focuses and adjusts the exposure, and pressing the shutter button down fully takes the photographs.
   The focus area frame turns blue and the viewfinder LED lights green when the camera is in focus and the exposure is calculated.

3. When the focus or exposure is not suitable, the frame of the focus area turns yellow and the viewfinder LED flashes red.
   If the photographic preview is set to "ON", the preview image (captured image) will be displayed while the image is being recorded onto the memory.
4. When the voice memo is set to "ON", [VOICE RECORDING] will be displayed on the screen immediately after the photography, and the voice memo recording will start.
   Press the shutter button one more time during recording, or wait for 30 seconds, [VOICE RECORD END] will be displayed and the recording will end. A [ ] icon is displayed with images that have been recorded with a voice memo.

Diopter adjustment dial

① Press down halfway.
② Press down fully.

NOTE

Voice memo is starting to record at still image capture mode just after the photograph is taken in case of activating this function. It provides 30 seconds for recording and only can be done once. To terminate recording, press the shutter button down fully.

Using the LCD Monitor

Make sure that the battery is inserted before taking photographs.

1. Press the POWER button to turn the power on.
2. Set the mode dial to [D].

By default, the LCD monitor setting is "ON".

1. Compose the picture in the LCD monitor.

2. Press the shutter button down halfway (the camera adjusts the exposure and the focus), then press it down fully.

3. The viewfinder LED indicator lights red while the camera is processing a captured image.

LCD Monitor Display (Capture Mode)

The [IO] Display button can select display format. Whether in "Still Image" or "Movie" mode, preview image with full OSD is displayed.

OSD (on-screen-display) full display OSD display OFF LCD monitor OFF

NOTE

The image in the LCD monitor darkens in strong sunlight or bright light. This is not a malfunction.
Using the LCD monitor for an extended period of time will decrease the number of images you can take. To increase the shots and conserve battery power, it is recommended to turn the LCD monitor off and use the viewfinder instead.

Using the Optical Zoom

Zoom photography allows you to take zoom photographs up to 3 times the size or wide-angle photography depending on the distance up to the subject. You can also enlarge the center of the screen and take photographs in the digital zoom mode.

1. Set the mode dial to one of [D] , [P] , [Tv] , [Av] , [M] , [C] , [C] , [C] and power on the camera.
2. If required, turn on the LCD monitor by pressing the

[] button.

1. Compose the picture with the zoom button.

2. Pressing the [ ] button zooms in on the subject, and enlarges the subject on the LCD monitor.
   Pressing the [ ] button provides a wider angle picture.
   The lens position moves according to the zoom button setting.
