File Size
Description
BMP
226 KB
Microsoft
®
Windows Bitmap. A graphics format defined by Microsoft
®
support-
ing 1, 4, 8 or 18-bit colour depth. No compression, so files can be very large.
Used for icons and very small images.
GIF
42 KB
Graphics Interchange Format. Highly compressed by limiting the colour palette to
16 or 256 colours. GIF is therefore good for icons and diagrams. When a Note is
sent as an email attachment, the GIF format is used.
GIF
(ani-
mated)
210 KB
(5 frames)
A GIF animation containing a number of images in a timed and repeating
sequence. Some M600 applications display only the first image in the sequence.
JPEG
(.JPG)
13 KB
An image compression format managed by the Joint Photographic Experts
Group. The format supports various degrees of compression, enabling different
quality/file-size balances to be provided in one standard. JPG files support mil-
lions of colours and are therefore good for 'real life' photographs.
MBM
Multi Bitmap. This is a Symbian OS format for colour and greyscale bitmap
images.
PNG
166 KB
Portable Network Graphics. PNG compresses images with millions of colours so
there is no loss of detail, but has comparatively large file size. It is not commonly
used.
WBMP
23 KB
Wireless BitMap. An image format optimized for small mobile devices. M600 sup-
ports Black and White, 2-bit greyscale and 6-bit colour modes, according to ETSI
3GPP TS 23.040
