BASIC PICTURE SETTINGS
FILE FORMAT
Choose the JPG format
JPG
or the standardized raw data format
DNG
(= digital negative). These can be used individually or simultaneous-
ly.
▸ Select
File format
in the main menu
▸ Select the desired format
(
DNG
,
DNG + JPG
,
JPG
)
Notes
• The standardized DNG (Digital Negative) format is generally used
for the storage of raw data.
• The resolution setting for the
JPG
format is used (see next
section), i.e. the two files may have differing resolutions if
picture data is saved in
DNG
and in
JPG
simultaneously.
• The remaining number of pictures shown in the LCD panel will
not necessarily change after every picture taken. A counter
change depends on the subject; very fine image structures
result in higher data quantities, while homogeneous surfaces
mean less data.
IMAGE PROPERTIES
JPG RESOLUTION
The
JPG
format setting offers 3 resolution (number of pixels)
options:
L-JPG
(24 MP),
M-JPG
(12 MP) and
S-JPG
(6 MP) (MP =
megapixel). You can therefore adjust your settings to the intended
use and to the available memory card capacity.
▸ Select
JPG Settings
in the main menu
▸ Select
JPG Resolution
in the submenu
▸ Select the desired resolution
Note
The
DNG
format always uses the highest resolution (24 MP), no
matter what
JPG
setting is selected.
JPG SETTINGS
One of the many advantages of digital photography is that it is very
easy to change critical properties of a picture.
You can manipulate contrast, sharpness and color saturation
before the picture is taken.
Note
The functions and settings described in this section apply to
pictures taken in
JPG
format only.
