Taking Pictures
You can choose the number of recorded pixels for still pictures.
The larger the number of recorded pixels, the clearer the details will appear when
you print your picture. As the quality of the printed picture also depends on the image
quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer, and other factors, you do not need
to select more than the required number of recorded pixels. h is adequate for
making postcard-size prints. The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the
bigger the file size.
Refer to the following table for the appropriate setting according to expected
usage.
The default setting is .
i and V can be set only when (Report) mode is set. These icons do not
appear in the [Recorded Pixels] options.
When [Monochrome] is selected, [Tone Adjustment] appears in the
[A Rec. Mode] menu for setting the tone of monochrome images instead
of [Saturation].
The finishing tone may not be changed depending on the shooting mode.
Refer to “Functions Available for Each Shooting Mode” (p.172) for details.
