Picture Quality / Size Options (8.0)
The DiMAGE Z6 offers four picture dimensions in three quality levels. The sizes are 2816 x 2112, 2272 x 1704, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480. In general, the two larger sizes are suitable for printing, and the two smaller ones are good for onscreen use.

The three quality levels refer to the amount of JPEG compression used when saving images. They make a significant difference in both file size and image quality, and we recommend using the highest quality you can in any situation. The DiMAGE Z6 levels are called Fine, Standard, and Economy. In the larger sizes, Fine files are roughly twice as big as Standard files, and Economy files are a bit larger than half the size of Standard files.

Picture Effects Mode (8.0)
The DiMAGE Z6 offers three color settings beyond its default Natural setting. They are Vivid, Black and White, and Sepia. Vivid pumps up color saturation significantly – it could be useful for scenic shots, wildlife, and objects, but less attractive for portraits, where it can emphasize skin blemishes. Black and white does the obvious, and Sepia turns the black and white image brown.

The viewfinder and LCD show the color change for each mode, and show an indicator icon for any setting except Natural.

The DiMAGE Z6 also offers in-camera settings for contrast and sharpness. Each three-level setting (High, Normal, Low) has a clear effect, but the on-camera displays are not good enough to show them.
Color, contrast, and sharpness adjustments are available only in Program, Manual, or the priority modes.
