The size of the image saved
• The image size of each image mode varies depending on the DS camera head used.
• The size of the image actually saved varies depending on the image size setting and the recording mode setting of the
[CAM MENU: SHOT/REC] screen.
Image display speed
The display speed (refresh frequency) of the live image varies largely depending on the selection of the image mode. We
recommend a fast image mode such as [FAST] for cases when you photograph a moving subject or do focus adjustment.
