Compared with the I, the J is superior in its ability
to express the fine details, which enables taking even higher definition
images.
Please note the following to enjoy the high resolution of your J
to the fullest.
Relationship between High Resolution and Aperture
When taking photographs in situations where the ability to record fine
details is important, an open aperture up to an aperture of F8 is
recommended to reduce the effects of diffraction. Try using an aperture
higher than F8 in situations where false color or moiré are noticeable.
False Color and Moiré
While the J is more suited for expressing fine details than the
I

, false color and moiré are more noticeable.
For example, when sharpness is emphasized in Custom Image, the image
may turn out looking unnatural in some cases. Be sure to take pictures
while adjusting the balance between capturing fine details and image
processing.
To check for false color and moiré, transfer images to a computer and view
them at 100%.
JPEG Quality
If you are going to shoot in JPEG with the quality set to E or D, high-
definition images will not be captured and the ability to record fine details
will diminish. Set [JPEG Quality] to C or Z as much as possible.
Camera Shake
High-definition images cannot be captured if camera shake occurs.
Prevent camera shake from occurring by using a tripod when necessary.
