Saving the settings (All Reset) ( p.110) The still picture record mode and the movie record mode are set on different menus. Even if you change the movie record mode, the still picture record mode remains the same.
Relation between the record mode and the resolution
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 computers monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1 when the monitor setting is 1024 768. However, if the monitor setting is over (such as 1280 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen. 4
Compression rate In record modes other than TIFF, image data are compressed. The higher the compression rate, the less clear the image. File format This camera saves images with either TIFF or JPEG formats. In record modes other than TIFF, images are compressed in the JPEG format. The compression rate also varies in each mode.
Selecting the ISO sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the cameras light sensitivity and the better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values also introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may make them a grainy appearance.
ISO settings AUTO : Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light conditions and the subject brightness. (No indication is displayed on the monitor.) 100/200/400 : 100 is best when you want to shoot clear, sharp images in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files on separate cards.
