Menu
Press the Menu button to show or hide the menu items. The options include:
Image resolution, numbers of image per second, image quality, EV compensation,
etc.
Image Resolution
There are 2 resolutions available for recording video: VGA (640x480), and QVGA
(320x240).
Comparing VGA video with QVGA video, VGA video is clearer, but the
file size is larger; therefore, you can’t record as much.
Numbers of Image per Second
There are 3 settings: 10 images/sec, 20 images/sec, 30 images/sec. Having more
images per second provides a smoother video, but the file size will be larger.
Image Quality
The camera provides 3 image quality settings: Fine, Normal, and Basic. The
Image Quality Icon may look like a white square with one blue dot, thee blue dots,
or 6 blue dots (in the shape of a triangle). The difference among these 3 image
qualities is the video compression ratio. Basic quality (one dot) provides the
highest compression ratio and smallest file size, but the poorest image quality.
The icon with 6 blue dots in the shape of a triangle provides the best quality.
EV compensation
You can adjust the EV Compensation value manually. The value ranges from
-2.0EV to +2.0EV in 9 levels. With all else being equal, the higher the EV
compensation, the brighter the images.
