Special record modes
z3:2 Resolution
The image aspect ratio is normally 4:3. If the
aspect ratio is changed to 3:2, the image can be
printed at a photo lab without losing the image
borders.The 3:2 aspect ratio setting is not
available in h mode.
zENLARGE SIZE
When ENLARGE SIZE is selected, the actual 4 million pixels used by this
camera can be increased to the equivalent of approx. 8 million pixels (3200 ×
2400). This allows you to make quality prints in larger sizes, such as A3
(297 mm × 420 mm/11.7" × 16.5"). However, file sizes also become larger.
ENLARGE SIZE is not available in the h mode.
• If the SHQ record mode is set to ENLARGE SIZE, sequential
shooting modes (j, i, k, 7) are not available.
Movie Record Modes
zMPEG4
If you select MPEG4 in n mode, you can record long movies. As movies are

smoothly than movies recorded in Motion-JPEG format.
zSHQ, HQ, SQ
Movies are recorded in Motion-JPEG format. The quality is better than
movies recorded in MPEG4 format, but the file size is larger.
