(Manual) OLYMPUS E-410 - Sensor Cleaning

Selecting the record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures. Choose the record mode that’s best
for your purpose (printing, editing on a PC, website editing, etc.). For details about record
modes and number of pixels, refer to the table on “List of record modes” (g P. 107).
Types of record modes
Record mode allows you to select a combination of pixel count and compression rate for the
images you record. An image consists of pixels (dots). When you enlarge an image with a low
pixel count, it will be displayed as a mosaic. If an image has a high pixel count, the file size
(amount of data) will be larger and the number of storable still pictures will be lower. The
higher the compression, the smaller the file size. However, the image will have less clarity
when played back.

RAW data
This is unprocessed data that has not undergone changes in white balance, sharpness,
contrast or color. To display as an image on the computer, use OLYMPUS Master. RAW data
cannot be displayed on a different camera or by using common software, and it cannot be
selected for print reservation.
It is possible to edit images taken with the record mode set to RAW data using this camera.
