This is useful for reviewing the changes in set parameters while previewing the entire image. Repeat segment: Cuts part of image and prints several repeating tiles with different bracketing parameters. This is useful for reviewing the optimal settings for the most important area in the image. When this setting is selected (and [Segment selection] is selected for [Display Mode]), you can select the area repeatedly printed in the preview. Repeat small original: Reduces entire image size and prints several repeating tiles with different bracketing parameters. This is useful for verifying the effects of varying parameters on the entire image. Sets segmentation method of print area. Select from the following three settings. Segment vertically: Divides area vertically. Only one bracketing parameter can be changed. 1 block : Divides area into multiple horizontal and vertical sections. Two bracketing parameters can be changed. 3 blocks : Divides area into multiple horizontal and vertical sections fixed at three vertical positions. One bracketing parameter can be changed, but prints three areas of image. Sets number of horizontal and vertical divisions. Selectable value depends on selected segmentation method. Selects bracketing parameter to be changed horizontally. Choose from nine parameters: Sensitivity, Saturation, Hue, Sharpness, Contrast, Filter Effect, Toning, Fine tune A-B and Fine tune M-G.

CSV format This data format lists recording fields, and segregates them with a comma (,). Generally, character strings come as double quotation marks in CSV format. Some software include data input and output functions in CSV format as part of a multipurpose format. Exif-TIFF format Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the TIFF image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular TIFF image. Exif-JPEG format Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the JPEG image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular JPEG image. CCD RAW data CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device. A semiconductor device that converts optical information into electrical signals. RAW image data is raw data recorded from CCD output. This data can be transferred to a PC, and manipulated into image data with unique settings such as JPEG and TIFF using specialized software. JPEG An image compression format. Select INGPE2_C (S. Fine), INGPE2_D (Fine), or INGPE2_E (Economy) for image quality, and the image is saved in JPEG format. Although the image quality deteriorates a little, more images can be saved in the same space. TIFF A file format for saving image data. The image is not compressed making the file size large, but no deterioration of image quality occurs.
TIFF16 Although TIFF images are usually 8 bit, this is 16 bit TIFF. One 8 bit pixel can reproduce 256 colors. More computations are required when image processing as the dynamic range is larger. sRGB (standard RGB) An international color space standard defined by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is specified as a standard color space for generic PC monitors and Exif. AdobeRGB This color space is recommended for commercial printing and document creation by Adobe Systems (US). Its color reproduction range is larger than sRGB, and adequately covers the color reproduction range for printing. Therefore, color data only reproducible on a printer are not lost when editing on the PC. Note: using it with unsupported software causes the colors to appear faint.
