Solution

With your camera, you can resize an image to make the pixel count lower and save it as a new image. Resizing an image is possible only with JPEG L / M / S1 / S2 images.

IMPORTANT

JPEG S3 and RAW images cannot be resized.

How to resize images

1. Set the power to <ON>.

2. Press <MENU> to display to the menu.

3. Under the [

], select [Resize], then press <

/SET>.

The images will be displayed.

4.Select the image you want to resize.

You can also select an image on the index display.

5. When you press <

/SET>, the image size will be displayed. Press the <Main Dial> to select the desired image size, then press <

/SET>.

NOTE

The target sizes ( M / S1 / S2 / S3 ) in this window will be smaller than the original size. For example, if the original image size is S1, you can select S2 or S3.

6. Select [OK] to save the resized image.

7. Check the destination folder and image file number, then select [OK].

To resize another image, repeat steps 4 to 7.

8. Press the <MENU> button to return to the menu.
