Picture Quality / Size Options
The S3 UVIR records images at pixel dimensions of 4256x2848, 3024x2016, 2304x1536 or 1440x960. It shoots RAW or JPEG, with two levels of JPEG quality. The native resolution of the sensor chip is 3024x2016, but, because the sensors are arranged in a honeycomb fashion, Fujifilm maintains that they can be interpolated to the higher size.
Picture Effects Mode
The film emulation modes are irrelevant to UV and IR shooting, but the S3 UVIR's dynamic range extension works as well outside the visible range as the S3's does in visible light. With dynamic range extension on, the S3 gave two more EV of range than with it off. We couldn't test the range of the S3 UVIR in a controlled way, but the option extends its dynamic range significantly.
