The atmosphere, character and message of an image are quintessentially influenced by the distribution of black and white areas in the tonal values. In classic photography the specific subject-related use of illumination is described as high-key and low-key photography. In high- key images bright, finely distinguished highlight tones dominate and soft illumination is provided. - Page 15 PHOTOKNOWLEDGE – In the camera menu you find the topics “Image Size” and “Quality”. The result of both is similar in one way, but the way they work differs a lot. Using those functions means, that choosing a higher “Quality” or a larger “Image Size” leads to fewer images on the memory card.
- Page 16 Choosing RAW „Quality“, the image is always recorded at the maximum resolution (full image size). The RAW format saves the image data before the actual calculations of colour, contrast, and sharpness of the camera software start. Those calculations have to be done afterwards on the computer, using imaging software like the DiMAGE Master Lite, or the optional DiMAGE Master.
