In the REC menu, you can specify the photographing source, file format, image size, and
compression rate when saving an image.
• For the source, choose either “s5M” or “s1.3M.” Choose “s5M” to obtain high picture
quality.
NOTE: Refer to “Outline Guide to Source (Photographing Mode) Settings” in “1.4.2
Image File Settings－File Settings,” Chapter VI for details about the source.
• For the file format, choose either “JPEG” or “BMP.”
• If you choose “JPEG” for the file format, choose the compression rate (picture quality)
from “Fine,” “Normal,” “Basic” or “Draft.”
• Choose the image size from “2560*1920,” “1280*960” or “640*480.”
At startup, settings that were made in File Settings of the SETUP menu are effective. However,
your settings in the REC menu remain effective until you turn off the power.
For the relationship between image sizes and the sizes of image files, refer to the table shown
below. Because the file size in JPEG format varies greatly with each image saved, the indicated
values for other than BMP formats are approximate values.
Picture quality, high File size, small
File Type BMP JPEG
Fine

2560*1920 14MB 4MB 1.8MB 1.2MB 900KB
1280*960 3.6MB 1.5MB 600KB 400KB 350KB
640*480 900KB 450KB 220KB 150KB 120KB
In the REC menu, you can further save a comment or overlay a print along with the image.
Comment
Select the “Attach Log File” check box, and enter a comment in the input box. That way,
you can save photographing information or comments in text format (up to 100
characters) at the same time you save an image.
You may enter the subject name, number, and the objective magnification, for example,
to facilitate confirmation at a later time.
When you save an image in BMP format, the comment is saved to a file named after the
image with the extension “txt” added.
When you save an image in JPEG format, it is saved to a file named after the image with
the extension “txt” added. Further, it is embedded in the image file as Exif information.
NOTE: If you select the check box labeled “with LOG.txt” in File Settings of the
SETUP menu, the function to save a log (comment statement) along with an
image is enabled. In the REC menu, you can dispense with this setting to
attach a log when saving an image.
Overlay print
Pen drawing, text, count marker, and superimpose are saved overlapping on top of the
image in the same position as displayed on the screen.
Scale and crosslines are saved according to the Scale and Cross settings on the REC menu.
If a Scale or Cross check box is selected, scale or crosslines are saved in the image data.
When deselected, they are not saved in the image data though displayed on the screen.
