Picture Quality / Size Options
The NV7 carries with it a 1/2.5-inch CCD with 7.2 effective megapixels. The camera can create JPEG images from 3072 x 2304, 2688 x 2016, 1920 x 1440, and 1024 x 768 pixels in SuperFine, Fine, and Normal compression. Pictures can be resized in the playback menu to image sizes smaller than the currently chosen size, of course.
Picture Effects Mode
There are several effects available on the Samsung NV7 in both recording and playback modes. In the recording mode, there is a Sharpness setting that can be selected to Soft, Normal, and Vivid options. The other recording effects are available from a separate mode, the Effects mode, found on the dial. From this mode, the following effects can be applied: Photo Frame, GIF, and Composite. The Photo Frame mode has about a dozen different frames – some with a heart shaped cutout, a circular cutout that looks like the one the MGM lion peers out of, and even face cutouts around an animated bride and groom. There are the traditional rectangular frames too, of course. The GIF effect lets users create a tiny animation measuring 320 x 240 or 400 x 300 pixels that moves at 2 or 5 frames per second. These can be output to Web sites and such. The Composite picture effect shows four layouts that let users snap up to 4 pictures and lay them out onto a single file. In the playback mode, the following effects can be applied: Black & White, Sepia, Red, Green, Blue, and Negative. The effects are interesting, and are more fun than useful.
