An image area of 2560*1920 pixels is reduced for display at the monitor
resolution (1280*960/SXGA or 1024*768/XGA). The frame rate is 3.75 fps.
This display mode is useful when viewing images in great detail.
The CCD mode does not switch to match the shutter speed, so there are no
delays during image acquisition.
For this reason, we also recommend this mode when making long
exposures.
Interlaced display modes may cause color shifts with moving subjects.
An image area of 1280*960 pixels is formatted for the monitor resolution.
The image is displayed at actual size (1280*960/SXGA) or reduced
(1024*768/XGA). The frame rate is 7.5 fps.
This display mode is useful when good performance with moving subjects is
required.
If the source is set to "s5M," the CCD mode will switch to match the shutter
speed, resulting in delays during image acquisition.
Progressive display modes eliminate color shifts, even with moving subjects.
We recommend using this display mode as the general display mode.
An image area of 1280*960 pixels is formatted for the monitor resolution.
The image is displayed at actual size (1280*960/SXGA) or reduced
(1024*768/XGA). The frame rate is 6.75 fps.
This mode is four times more sensitive to light than other modes, making it
is particularly useful for dark subjects.
If the source is set to "s5M," the CCD mode switches to match the shutter
speed, resulting in delays during image acquisition.
Interlaced display modes may cause color shifts with moving subjects.
An area corresponding to the center of the image is formatted for the
monitor resolution. The image is displayed at actual size (1280*960/SXGA)
or reduced (1024*768/XGA). The top and bottom 1/4 are not displayed.
The frame rate is 15 fps.
