Picture Quality / Size Options (5.0)
Photographs can be captured in six size settings of JPEG image files. The image size can be changed in the Quality section of the Photo Mode, but there is no option to change compression settings. There are five 4:3 aspect ratio image sizes and one 3:2 aspect ratio image size; they are: 2592 x 1944 (5M), Fine and Normal modes, 2736 x 1824 (5M) 3:2 aspect ratio, 2048 x 1536 (3M), 1600 x 1200 (2M) and 640 x 480 (0.3M). As the user scrolls through the image quality settings, the camera displays the number of shots that can be taken in each setting with the currently loaded xD card. Users have the option of controlling whether images are continuously named or to reset the numbering to begin at one.
Picture Effects Mode (5.5)
The Z1 has three color modes, labeled FinePix Color in the Photo Mode; Standard, Chrome, and Black & White. Many other cameras in this segment offer a Sepia Tone mode, but the Z1 does not. The Chrome mode offers over-saturated colors for richer tones, a mode that is often called Vivid on other cameras. The manual notes that the Chrome mode may not have much effect on subjects with subtle colors, such as portraits.
