Picture Quality / Size Options (8.0)
This 5-megapixel digital camera offers five different file sizes in two compression settings of Normal and Fine. 2592 x 1944, 2592 x 1728, 2048 x 1536, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480 round out the options on the Sony Cyber-shot H1. The highest resolution can be shot in 4:3 or 3:2 format, which makes 4 x 6-inch prints look just the way they were framed in the camera. At the finest resolution, photographers can print up to 11 x 17 inches without “looking digital.”

Picture Effects Mode (8.5)
This Sony Cyber-shot offers several picture effects in its shooting menu. A black and white option is available, as well as a sepia tone. There are also three editing features usually added in post-production that are available in the shooting menu: saturation, contrast, and sharpness. Each of these had a menu with +, -, and Normal options. This is a nice inclusion and will give enthusiasts the option to alter the image parameters to create the desired look straight from the camera or could play with the settings with the intention of compensating for certain adjustments in Photoshop post-capture.

All of these picture effects worked properly; however, the sepia tone is a little too reddish for my liking and the black and white option looks pretty flat.
