How Do I Share My Photos?
Distributing Photos Using E-Mail and the Web
Your camera stores photographs in JPEG and TIFF formats, which can be viewed
using a wide variety of computer applications. JPEG images can be viewed in
web browsers such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer and e-mail soft-
ware such as Eudora and Outlook. This makes them ideal for distribution by
e-mail or the web. Note, however, that photos destined for electronic distri-
bution should be small, both in terms of their physical dimensions (so that they
will fit in the window of a web-browser or e-mail software) and in terms of
the amount of data they contain (so that they don’t take too long to upload
or download over an Internet connection).
Taking Photos for E-Mail and the Web
When taking photographs for electronic distribution, we recommend that you
choose an image quality of BASIC or NORMAL and an image size of VGA or
XGA. This will produce smaller files (see figure on following page), reducing
the time required to transmit images over an Internet connection. In addition,
selecting an image size of VGA (640
×
480 pixels) will ensure that images will
fit in a browser window when displayed on most computer monitors.
The following table shows how the chosen combination of image quality and
size will affect file size and data transfer times.
