SLDC2 User Guide Issue 1.0
In digital images, the more pixels the better the resolution but the larger
the file size and hence the more memory needed to store each picture.
The combo mode on your SLDC2 gives you the best of both worlds, a
better resolution photo for evidence with a great video to capture action.
Like all digital cameras, the SLDC2 uses a method called interpolation to
obtain images that are higher in resolution than the natural resolution of
its image sensor. Interpolation effectively inserts additional pixels of
information into an image and uses clever software to guess what colour
and brightness that pixel should be based on those pixels around it.
The more pixels a digital photo has, the greater resolution it offers.
Because more pixels means more information, a higher resolution will be
larger and therefore take longer to store.
