Creating Retouched Copies: The Retouch Menu

The options in the retouch menu are used to create trimmed,
resized, or retouched copies of the photographs on the memory
card. The following options are available (options displayed may
differ if My menu is selected for the CSM/Setup menu option in
the setup menu; 80). See “Using Camera Menus” ( 63) for
more information on using the menus.

* Not available with photographs taken with Black-and-white selected for Optimize image.

Except in the case of Image overlay, the photographs to be retouched can be selected in
full-frame playback or from the retouch menu. In full-frame playback:

* Image overlay is not available during full-frame playback.
† If sub-menu is displayed, repeat Steps 3–4 to select options from sub-menu. To exit to full-frame

playback without creating modified copy, press button.

Retouching Copies

Copies created with Small picture or Trim can not be further modified. D-lighting, red-eye correc-
tion, and filter effects can not be applied to monochrome copies. Otherwise the options in the
retouch menu can each be applied once to existing copies, although this may result in loss of quality.

Image Quality

Small picture creates JPEG Fine copies (1:4 compression ratio). Image overlay creates copies at the
current image quality setting. Other options copy RAW photos as JPEG Fine quality images; save
where otherwise noted, copies created from RAW photos are 3,872×2,592 pixels in size.
