I just bought my DX1200HD. I'm very much the new photographer and my first question is basic;
1. When I take a picture in the 12MP setting (4000x3000), why does the photo upload to my computer as only an approx. 3.5MP file? I am using the Media Impressions software that came with the camera. I just thought the file would be much larger in the 10-12MP range depending on the photo. I took several shots from both far away and macro and they all ended up 3.1-3.6MP when uploaded. I tested at the lower 3MP and the files were all 1MP. Am I doing something wrong or just thinking wrong?
2. I can apply the motion stability feature in Auto mode, however, the camera does not let me apply the motion stability feature with S&S mode. Does S&S automatically have motion stability? I haven't tested in the ocean yet, but I would think it would make sense to use a motion stabilizer underwater. Comments?
Thanks for your patience.
