TIFF is the highest quality and Normal is the lowest setting. Choose the setting appropriate for your needs. The TIFF file format is for professionals and provides the best quality. However, large file size reduces number of available pictures to take and increases saving time to the memory card. [Please Wait !] message is displayed while saving a TIFF file to the memory card. If you select the TIFF file format, the double self-timer can’t be selected. This file format complies with the DCF(Design rule for Camera File system). JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): JPEG is the image compression standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group. This type of compression is most commonly used for compressing photos and graphics because it can compress the files efficiently without damaging the data.

Metering

If you cannot obtain suitable exposure conditions, you can change the metering method to take brighter pictures.

Multi ( ) : Exposure will be calculated based on

an average of the available light in the image area. However, the calculation will be biased towards the centre of the image area. This is suitable for general use.

Spot ( ) : Only the rectangular area in the centre

of the LCD monitor will be metered for light. This is suitable when the subject in the centre is exposed correctly, regardless of the back lighting.

Continuous shot

You can select continuous shot, AEB (Auto Exposure Bracketing) and AFB (Auto Focus Bracketing). If you select CONTINUOUS, AEB or AFB, the flash will automatically be set to Flash Off.

[Single]: Take one picture only

[Continuous]: Images will be taken continuously until the

shutter button is released. The shooting capacity depends on the memory.

If less than 3 pictures are available in the memory, the Sequential and the AEB, AFB shooting are not available. If you select 3072X2304 or 2816X2112 image size, the maximum numbers of continuous shot are 3. It is best to use a triangular support for the AEB shooting for saving time is long and hand shaking may occur. If the [TIFF] or [S. Fine] quality is selected and the [Shooting] sub menu is changed to [Continuous], [AEB] or [AFB], the image quality is changed to the [Fine] sub menu automatically. The self-timer can’t be activated during the continuous shooting.
