Shooting (Camera Settings)

Creating a photo project begins with shooting. The data storage format and size (resolution) are also important points.

Some items only need to be set for the first time, while some items need to be set every time according to the subject.

Items that only need to be set the first time
  • Color spaces: Select sRGB if you are unsure.

  • Storage size: We recommend saving at a resolution that suits the paper size you will use for printing, using the table below as a guide.

    Print Size

    Number of Pixels

    A2/entire sheet

    24 million (5830 x 4120)

    A3/half sheet

    18 million (5050 x 3570)

    A4/8x10 in/10x12 in

    12 million (4120 x 2920)

  • Data format: We recommend selecting RAW when editing and printing photo data, or select JPEG just printing.
