    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.
    • To resize RAW images, you can process RAW images and save them as JPEG M / S1 /S2 / S3 images. For details on the RAW image-processing, please see the instruction manual supplied with the camera.

    How to resize images
    1. Set the power switch to <ON>.

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



    3. Under the [ ] tab, select [Resize] menu option, and then press the <SET> button. Images will be displayed.






    4. Turn the <Quick Control Dial> to select the image you want to resize.
    By pressing the < > button, you can switch to the index display and select an image.



    5. Press the <SET> button to display the image sizes. Press the <Multi-controller> key to select the desired image size, then press the <SET> button.


    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 image, and then press the <SET> button.



    7. Note the destination folder and image file number, then select [OK].
    To resize another image, press the <MENU> button to return to the image selection screen, and then repeat steps 4 to 7.

    About Image Sizes
    The [8.0M 3456x2304] image size displayed in step 5 has a 3:2 aspect ratio. The image size according to aspect ratios is shown in the table below. For asterisked image-recording quality, the pixel count does not exactly match the aspect ratio. The image will be slightly cropped.
