Basic photo settings
FILE FORMAT
Two file formats are available for recording the picture data:
DNG
and
JPG.
You can select, whether your picture data
a. is to be saved in only one of these formats, or
b. simultaneously in both (i.e. two files are always created for
each picture).
Setting the function
1. In the menu's
IMAGE section, select Photo File Format, and
2. in the submenu the desired setting.
Notes:
•
DNG (Digital Negative) is a standardized format used to save raw
picture data.
• The displayed remaining number of pictures does not necessarily
change after every picture. With JPEG files, this depends on the
subject; very fine structures result in higher data volumes,
homogeneous surfaces in lower volumes.
• This function can be assigned to the
FAVORITES menu.
JPEG SETTINGS
Note:
The functions and settings described in the next three sections
refer exclusively to pictures in the JPEG format. If the DNG file
format is selected, these settings have no effect.
JPG resolution
If the JPEG format is selected, pictures can be taken with four
different resolutions (numbers of pixels). This allows you to adjust
the setting precisely to the intended use or to the available memory
card capacity.
Setting the function
1. In the menu's
IMAGE section, select JPG Resolution, and
2. in the submenu, the desired setting.
Notes:
• Raw data (DNG format) is always saved at the maximum
resolution regardless of the settings for JPEG images.
• The effective resolution is subject to both the focal length and
aspect ratio settings.
• This function can be assigned to the
FAVORITES menu.
