I use fine all the time, fine uses the lowest compression and I bought a 512 mb memory-card so space isn't a problem.

yup..since lack of external memory isnt a problem, as in the k700, that sounds like the logical thing to do

How come my pictures on 'fine' seem to have noticibly less detail than those on normal?? Resolution of things in the background is where it's most noticable.
And that's when doing back to back comparisons of the same picture.

The 'fine' pictures are considerably larger, which made me assume they were meant to be better, but i'm struggling to see it!

@andy-rew
that happens in K700i, too. but, you can transfer the pics to your PC, and you'll get big difference that the Fine quality pics are so much better than the normal ones.

I use normal setting and generally highest resolution. haven't noticed much diff with fine

the flash accessory is definitly worthwhile. I've been using mine quite a bit. Its just a shame its only for still pictures though

just in case you missed it, there is a K750i flash MXE-60 mini review thread worth taking a looking at

Dear K750i users,

I am a strong believer that the K750 is an excellent camera tool and with the good settings you should get the best results, below are the settings I usually have for normal shots.

Shoot Mode: Normal unless I want to take a shot of something with a fast motion I will use Burst, which takes 4 pictures every second.

Picture Size: Large 1632x1224

Macro: On

Light: On even if outside

WhiteBalance: Usually Auto but you can play around with Fluorescent and Incandescent setting if you want a nice colour effect on your photos

Picture Quality: Always on Fine

Save to: My 2GB card as when your taking High def. pictures it will save faster on the card than the phone.

Software: I use Imagenomic Noiseware Professional which is a plugin for Photoshop which allows you to filter out the amount of noise which usually a photo from a camera phone will have. If you want a free trial version download the Noiseware Community Edition version which is an external software not a plugin, just drag your photos in the software main area space and you are able to set the amount of noise compression - Luminance and colour.

Here are some photos I took using my K750i with those settings listed above and my software editing tool.









As you can see, theres not much different between using a digital cam and the K750i, the only plus point with a digi cam is that it has optical zoom, but generally for taking nice photos, holiday pics, experimental pics k750i is an excellent choice for doing this.

I use fine. When viewed at 1:1 on the computer monitor, there is obvious blurriness of fine details using Normal setting compared to Fine.

My results are the same as the earlier post in this thread with the teddy bear comparison.

Check this soft toy. The one on the left is on normal setting, one on the right on fine setting. Both pictures settings are identical in all other regards.

The DVD titles are clearer, and the fur on the soft toy is clearer also.

You forgot something very essential; the absence of adjustable aperture, and also the absence of manuall setting of ISO sensitivity.

As now, K750 can adjust the correct exposure only by exposure time and ISO sensitivity. With adjustable aperture one "lock" on low ISO setting (=low noise level) and could let camera controll exposure by combination of aperture and exp. time. Adjustable aperture could be handy for controll of depth of field, the range of sharpness depth wise. Not such essential with the semi-wideangle lens of K750 though. Well, in close-ups, needed.

EDIT:
Just in order to clear up things: The Normal/Fine setting on K750 define the compression ratio og the lossy JPG conversion. Unfortunately we won't get out the unprocessed, unconverted image out of K750 to evaluate the true optical quality. Only more or less compressed JPG, something similar to mp3 compression.

I just took a comparison test with my K750 mounted with Cullmann Calamari claw on Minos tripod, and using the self-timer: that 1632x1224 pixels test photo had a file size of 5862KB if it were saved as lossless non-compressed image. Alternative taken with setting Normal: 267KB (= compression ratio 22x), with Fine 408KB (=compression ratio 14.4).

Here is an nice article about JPG for further self-study:
