TIPS
• Resolution
The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an
image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger
numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer.
However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data)
larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
• Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture
on the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s
monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024
× 768
resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x
when the monitor setting is 1024
× 768. However, if the monitor
setting is over 1024 × 768 (such as 1280 × 1024), the picture only
takes up part of the screen.
• Compression rate
In record modes other than TIFF, image data are compressed. The
higher the compression rate, the less clear the image will be.
• File format
This camera saves images in either TIFF or JPEG format. In record
modes other than TIFF, images are compressed in the JPEG
format. The compression rate also varies in each mode. (Movies are
in Motion JPEG format (.mov).)
