Tips
The size of the image is indicated by the
pixel unit. The higher the number of
pixels, the more information is included.
So, an image that is saved using a large
number of pixels is suitable for a large-
format print and one that is saved using a
smaller number of pixels is suitable for
attaching to an E-mail. Normally, an
image is recorded in the ratio of four to
three to fit the monitor ratio. This camera
can also record the image in the ratio of
three to two to accommodate the most
common printing paper size. This is the
same ratio as the one used in photo-
developing shops.

Recording still
images for e-mail
(E-MAIL)
The E-MAIL mode records a small-
size (320×240) image at the same time
as a still image. Small-size images are
convenient for e-mail transmission,
etc. Images in E-MAIL mode are
recorded in the JPEG format.

Creating Clip Motion
Files
Clip Motion is an animation function
that plays back still images in
succession. Clip Motion images are
played back on this camera at
approximately 0.5 s intervals. The
images are stored in GIF format, which
is convenient for creating home pages
or attaching images to an e-mail.

Notes
• Reading and writing data takes more time
than normal image recording.

• Due to the limitations of the GIF format,
2/10
the number of colors for Clip Motion
images is reduced to 256 colors or less.
Therefore, the picture quality may
deteriorate for some images.
• The file size is reduced in MOBILE mode,
so the picture quality deteriorates.
• GIF files not created on this camera may
not be displayed correctly.
