NOTE:
• Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, a picture of trees in
autumn has a larger file size than a picture of blue sky at the same resolution
and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can store on a card
may vary. The number of pictures on the LCD screen is for reference only.
• The 2272 X 1704 resolution is interpolated by firmware, while the maximum
resolution of the sensor itself is only 2048 X 1536. Interpolation refers to
the process of averaging pixel information when scaling an image. Used in
digital cameras to produce an image resolution greater than the resolution
of the device’s CCD array. Basically, an integrated circuit chip in the digital
camera generates new data by taking the dots the digital camera actually
sees, and calculating where the dots in-between would most likely fall, using
an algorithm to “guess” the colour of the new dots by averaging the colour of
adjacent dots.
• Please notice that if the interpolated resolution 2272 X 1704 has been
selected, the camera will automaticaly reset to 2048 X 1536 when it is turned
off.
