Record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.
Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a
computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for
each record mode and the number of storable still pictures/movie
recording time, see the table on P. 25.
Record mode depicts the image size of pictures.
Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few
pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. Pictures with more pixels are denser and
clearer but require more space (larger file size), thus decreasing the number of
pictures that can be saved.
Still picture record modes
Record mode Image size Application
B SUPER HIGH
5M
2560 × 1920 The number of storable still pictures is lower,
and it takes longer to record pictures, but it is
useful for creating beautiful prints on full-size
paper and performing image processing,
such as contrast adjustment and red-eye
correction, on a computer.
e HIGH 3M
2048 × 1536
f HIGH 2M
1600 × 1200 Use this setting to create postcard-size prints.
This is also useful for adding text to a picture,
rotating a picture, or performing other editing
with a computer.
L BASIC 1M
1024 × 768 The record mode is normal for a smaller
image size but a greater number of storable
still pictures. This is useful for viewing
pictures on a computer.
E E-MAIL VGA
640 × 480 The record mode is normal for a smaller
image size that is convenient for attaching to
e-mail.
