[. . . ] These pictures are highly detailed and the included 16 MB CompactFlash Card holds approximately 15 super fine photos or 31 super fine panoramic photos, without audio recordings. Fine (default setting) Super fine HyPict (or TIFF file format) Standard 4-2 Making Settings HyPict When these icons are shown on the display panel, you can take HyPict or TIFF photos. HyPict images are captured at 2544 × 1904 pixels, or 2544 × 952 pixels for panoramic photos. These pictures have even higher detail than super fine images, and the included 16 MB CompactFlash Card stores approximately 12 HyPict photos or 25 HyPict panoramic photos without audio recordings. Note: The image quality setting is retained when the camera is turned off. The number of photos that you can take varies depending on the complexity of the photo and the number and length of audio recording files saved on the memory card. After you take a picture using the HyPict setting, the camera takes approximately 14 seconds to process the image. HyPict is not available when using the continuous shooting feature. Taking photos in the TIFF file format In addition to the four basic image quality settings, your PhotoPC 3000Z allows you to take uncompressed images in the TIFF file format. These images are captured at 2048 × 1536 and offer the highest image quality, but have a much larger file size and take longer to process. The included 16 MB CompactFlash Card stores approximately one TIFF photo, or three TIFF panoramic photos. Note: To take a TIFF photo, you must use a CompactFlash Card that has at least 9. 1 MB of memory available. Note: Selecting JPEG allows you to take photos using the HyPict image quality setting, instead of the TIFF file format. 4 Making Settings 4-3 4.

The effective flash range varies depending on the sensitivity setting (see page A-3 for details). 4-4 Making Settings Red-eye reduction The flash flickers briefly before firing to reduce the red-eye effect in flash photos of people. As with the Automatic setting, the flash fires automatically whenever it's needed for adequate lighting. Use this setting to compensate for backlighting; for example, when you are facing the sun. Flash off The flash is disabled even when adequate lighting is not available. Use this setting for special effects or when using a flash is prohibited. Slow synchro The camera's shutter speed slows to enhance the clarity of background details in the photo when taking pictures at dawn or twilight, or in places with an illuminated background. Note: After turning on the camera and taking a flash photo, the flash icon and the green indicator light beside the viewfinder blink until the flash is fully recharged. When you use the external flash, the internal flash is disabled and the button does not work. To change the camera mode, see "Making camera mode settings" on page 4-5.
