The camera offers a choice of the following image areas:

cFX (36 × 24): Images are recorded in FX format with an angle of view equivalent to a NIKKOR lens on a 35 mm format camera.
l1.2× (30 × 20): Selecting this option reduces the angle of view and increases the apparent focal length of the lens by approximately 1.2×.
aDX (24 × 16): Images are recorded in DX format. To calculate the approximate focal length of the lens in 35 mm format, multiply by 1.5.
b5 : 4 (30 × 24): Pictures are recorded with an aspect ratio of 5 : 4.
m1 : 1 (24×24): Pictures are recorded with an aspect ratio of 1 : 1.
