• Setting the Picture Resolution and Compression
Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture
quality depends on the JPEG file compression that the camera applies when
the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression makes better
quality they occupy more memory space. Smaller size and normal quality
pictures are easier to email while larger size and fine quality pictures are
better for printing.
The x530 digital camera allows the user to choose between shooting in
raw format or in JPEG format. X3F files are the raw format files from digital
cameras that incorporate the Foveon X3 direct image sensor, which directly
capture colour in three layers (red, green and blue) at every point in the
image. In X3 direct image sensor, pixels are placed at these corresponding
depths in the silicon to detect the red, green and blue light that has been
absorbed. Capturing images using the X3 raw format provides you with
greater flexibility in processing your image and allows you to retain as much
control over the processing of your images as possible.
