Shooting Modes
The Ixpress system is able to capture images in four different modes,
each of which is optimized for a different situation:
Preview Mode for Quick Setups.
Takes a single shot and applies minimal processing. This type of capture
appears most quickly on your screen. Use it to check your exposure and
composition and to make initial neutralization settings.
Single-Shot Mode for Moving Subjects
Takes a single shot and applies full processing. If you are shooting
people, animals, flowing water, or other moving objects, or if you are
shooting from a hand-held camera, then you must use single-shot mode.
Single shot images are fully rendered and processed so they take slightly
longer than previews, and the results are of production quality.
Multi-Shot Mode for High Resolution Stills
NOTE!
Only applies to devices fitted with the 4*Res module (see page 9
for details).
If you are shooting unmoving objects, such as room interiors, studio
sets or product shots, then you can use multi-shot mode. In this mode,
four exposures are taken (one for each color, but with green shot twice
for extra sharpness), each of which uses the entire CCD. This means
that no interpolation is needed to create the final 48/96 MB color image.
Images taken in multi-shot mode will be sharper and contain more
detail than single-shot images. Multi-shot images will also stand up to
greater enlargement later in production.
Micro-Step Mode for Ultra High Resolution Stills
NOTE!
Only applies to devices fitted with the 4*Res module (see page 9
for details).
Micro-step mode extends the multi-shot functionality by dividing each
tiny light-sensitive area into 4 pixels and taking a total of 16 exposures.
This creates a 8160 x 8160 pixel image and digital files of up to 384 MB.
Micro-step images will stand up to even greater enlargement than
multi-shot images.
