Select one of four image resolutions:

• Large (2272 x 1704)
• Medium1 (1600 x 1200)
• Medium2 (1024 x 768)
• Small (640 x 480)

Note: Previously the G1 only supported three image sizes, the G2 now has M1 & M2.

Chooses one of three JPEG compression ratios:

• Super-fine (5 bpp, 4:1)
• Fine (3 bpp, 8:1)
• Normal (2 bpp, 12:1)

The G2 displays approx. remaining frames in the bottom corner of the menu.

Selects either JPEG or RAW file format. In RAW format the image is stored as raw data directly from the CCD without any in-camera processing (no sharpening, level correction, colour correction or white balance applied). The files are named .CRW and compressed using a lossless compression (similar to Zip). A RAW file is approximately 3 MB.

You need to use the supplied TWAIN driver or RAW file converter to read RAW files.

Select one of five ISO settings:

• Auto (50 - 100)
• 50
• 100
• 200
• 400

Choose digital zoom setting:

• On
• Off

Digital zoom on the G2 operates as a 'past telephoto' feature and has up to four additional 'zoom positions'.

Choose single or continuous autofocus. Continuous autofocus causes the cameras focus system to continually recalculate the focus and correct it if necessary, it's useful as it reduces the AF delay at shutter release..

Select metering mode:

• Evaluative
• Center-weighted average

Note that spot metering doesn't appear on this menu as it has a dedicated button on the back of the camera.

Select spot metering option:

• Center (of frame)
• AF point

Allows you to choose between spot metering the center of the frame or using the selected AF point (left, center or right) to also use for metering.

Select continuous shooting mode:

• Normal (1.5 fps, max 9 images)
• High-Speed (2.5 fps, max 5 images)

Display a review image for 2 or 10 seconds or not at all. With Review disabled the G2 feels much more responsive as the live view returns immediately. This is really a matter of personal choice and the scene circumstances.

Controls whether the running number used to name files (either IMG_xxxx or CRW_xxxx) is reset every time the CF card is changed or if a running number is continued until it reaches 9999 and then returned to 0000.
