Yippy_Kiyey Posted August 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just bought a Leica D-Lux 4 and I am trying to figure out this baby. Can someone please explain to me the "picture size" option. What is the purpose of this? The choices are between 9M and 2M. What does it do? When do you apply each number. Thank you in advance.

Gerard Posted August 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2009 This relates to the size (or quality) of image being recorded onto your data card. The M (megapixel) number will vary dependant on what image quality you require and on what format (4:3, 3:2 or 16:9) you have set. If you want good quality pictures to publish or print from, choose the highest quality (or RAW). If you simply wish to view on a laptop and prefer to record hundreds of images on a single card, choose a lower resolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted August 17, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 17, 2009 My advice would be to shoot at the highest resolution - raw if you're comfortable with it, Jpeg otherwise. You can always make large images smaller for say internet use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackart Posted August 17, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 17, 2009 I second Steve. SD card prices are so low. Buy 8 or 16 GB card and shoot hi res. Gives also headroom to make better crops. Jaak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yippy_Kiyey Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted August 17, 2009 Thank you very much for all your informative responses, I appreciate it very much. I'll probably will have more questions to ask as I am very noob on digital photography, especially with Lieca. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
