Shooting (Camera Settings)
Creating a photo project begins with shooting. e data storage format and size (resolution) are also important
points.
Some items only need to be set for the rst time, while some items need to be set every time according to the
subject.
Items that only need to be set the rst time
❏ Color spaces: Select sRGB if you are unsure.

table below as a guide.
Print Size Number of Pixels
A2/entire sheet 24 million (5830 x 4120)
A3/half sheet 18 million (5050 x 3570)
A4/8x10 in/10x12 in 12 million (4120 x 2920)
❏ Data format: We recommend selecting RAW when editing and printing photo data, or select JPEG just printing.
Items that need to be set every time
Set the following appropriately according to the subject.
❏ Select A mode (aperture priority auto) from shooting mode and control the F value (aperture) to set the amount
of burring.
