Selecting the record mode
Number of pixels
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the
image is going to be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are
recommended so that the image will be clearer.
Compression
In record modes other than RAW/TIFF, image data are compressed. The higher
the compression, the less clear the image will be.
Number of pixels and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken in 1024 x 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if
you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the
monitor setting is over 1024 x 768 (such as 1280 x 1024), the picture only takes
up part of the screen.
RAW
Raw data is original, unprocessed data, i.e. it has not been subject to image
processing such as white balance, sharpness, contrast and color space, etc.
OLYMPUS Master software is required to display RAW images on a PC. A
Photoshop plug-in is also available to allow you to open RAW images in
Photoshop (you can download it from our website). It is not possible to display
RAW data using commercially available software applications or to apply print
reservation to RAW data. With this camera, pictures taken in RAW record mode
can be edited.
