Photographs taken at an image quality setting of HI are stored in

uncompressed TIFF format and show no loss in quality. An 8 MB

memory card is, however, sufficient to store only one such

photograph at a time. To take photographs at an image quality of

HI, turn the mode dial to M-REC, then hold down the button

and turn the command dial until HI is displayed in the control panel.

Image Size

Use the image-size setting to adjust the size of photographs to suit

your purposes. The default size of 1,600 × 1,200 pixels is suitable

for printing images at high resolutions or for viewing fine details on

a computer. Smaller sizes can be used to save space on the

memory card or to shoot photos destined for display on web pages

or on smaller computer monitors.

Using the Buttons (A-REC, M-REC): Image Quality and Size

Sensitivity

In A-REC mode, automatic gain control is used to produce

sensitivity roughly equivalent to ISO 80 film. In M-REC mode, you

can choose a fixed value for sensitivity equivalent to an ISO rating

of 100, or increase sensitivity further by a factor of +1.0 or +2.0.

Increasing sensitivity reduces the time needed to make an expo-

sure, allowing increased shutter speed. This can be used to reduce

blurring caused by camera motion when lighting is poor, or to

“freeze” moving objects. To increase sensitivity:

1 Turn the mode dial to M-REC.

2 Hold down the button and

turn the command dial to select the de-

sired sensitivity. Choosing a value of dEF

restores normal sensitivity, roughly equiva-

lent to ISO 80. The chosen setting will be

displayed in the control panel while the

button is held down.

At settings other than dEF, a icon appears in the control panel

and LCD monitor.

Notes

A slight amount of noise may appear in photos taken at settings other than

“dEF.”

An exposure-mode setting of shutter-priority auto is only available at a

sensitivity setting of “dEF.”

Note

HI image quality is not available at a multi-shot (CONTINUOUS) setting of

“16-shots” or when BSS is on (see the Pocket Guide, “Taking Photographs”).
