Picture Quality / Size Options
When the ‘F’ button is pressed, the first option displayed on the resulting menu is the Quality. This indicates the image size. The top resolution of 2816 x 2112 pixels is offered in JPEG Fine and Normal compression sizes. The next smallest image size is 2816 x 1880 pixels and is 3:2-formatted for properly framed 4 x 6-inch prints. The rest of the image sizes - 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480 – are meant to save space on memory cards and to provide quick transfers for emailing. These sizes cover all the basics.
Picture Effects Mode
The other option in the ‘F’ menu is the FinePix Color. It can be adjusted from the default Standard color to the more vivid Chrome to the bland Black & White. The saturation is enhanced in the Chrome mode, so it can be used to emphasize your Great Aunt Martha’s already out-of-control pink lipstick. You can also apply it to landscapes to enrich the colors for a more interesting shot. These color modes can only be added in the recording mode – not in playback – and only in the still image mode. Sorry, no black and white movies can be made on the Fujifilm FinePix F470.
