In the REC menu, you can specify the photographing source, file format, image size, and
compression rate when saving an image.
• Choose the source, either “s5M” for 5M cameras or “s2M” for 2M cameras 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.
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.
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.
