Sanyo VPC-AZ1E Digital Camera User Manual


 
NOTE
œ When the resolution menu is selected in the Video Clip Shooting Screen, the remaining video
recording time appears (see page 37).
About the resolution and compression settings (see page 57)
œ The image captured by a digital camera consists of a collection of small dots. The resolution
refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the number, the higher the image quality. As
the resolution increases, the size of the resulting data also increases, and the number of
images that can be captured decreases. To compensate for this, this digital camera is able to
compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression. If JPEG compression is used,
when the image is returned to its original size, an extremely small portion of it is lost. The higher
the compression ratio, the more of the original image is lost.
Therefore, this digital camera also allows you to store image data without any compression to
ensure that none of the original image is lost. This is the L mode. Since the image data is
large when the L mode is used, the digital camera requires approximately 30 seconds to
store the data after the shutter release button is pressed, and approximately 10 seconds to
display the image in the playback mode (when using the supplied 16MB CompactFlash card).
œ When capturing images at A B resolution, it takes 5 seconds after the shutter release
button is pressed before the data is recorded.
