Setting image size on the Z990: Question: Am I stuck with 3mp as the lowest setting?

Yes, it appears 3 MP (4:3): 2048 x 1536 pixels is the smallest resolution you can shoot at. Why on Earth would you want less?

Just grab something with the z97 chipset and you'll do just fine. Other factors will narrow it down like SATA ports, 3.0 headers, sli/crossfire support, and such.

Ware - thanks for instructions, the good news and the calibrate info. Very much appreciated. I have two 970s and like them but for the big LCD I want to try to get as good a picture as possible so will order a 981. At least that looks like the best bet. I hope so.Whoops! Meant "...big DLP..." if that matters.Thanks again!

Hi Wally, Yes you can, but the quality will not be as good. You can also scan the photo. Either way, you will need to rezize to 800 x 600 and lower the DPI to 72. Here is a great link for you: https://nix.zendesk.com/entries/22222492-How-to-Re-Size-Photos-for-your-Digital-Frame

I think if you are going to zoom in and expect good resolution you should raise your shooting pixels way above 3. I was pleased with mine when I tried it. If you don't increase the pixels then if you need to blow up your picture it will seem grainy.

I had the same issue, as well as it size being way off. I ended up just going with a Ram mount. They cost more but are worth it in the long run.

The viewable resolution is 680 x 480, so you could always do that.The sample album pics are 688 x 488, but I would imagine that its a 4 pixel buffer around the edge.

Honestly, it doesn't seem to on my system. Bear in mind, I have 16GB of system RAM as well, so that takes some of the load off, but I'm perfectly happy with the 1GB card. Really, I only think it matters if you're gonna try maxing the resolution and start kicking up all of the background details.

I think you're correct and would stay with current firmware. I didn't realize they were coming out with a 10" frame. I'd be interested in more info on that. Is it posted anywhere? Thanks

Mega pixel is not really that important. If you have more than 10MP you should be fine.

You will need to set your scan for the maximum DPI possible and make sure that both the photo being scanned and the scanner glass is as free of dust / lint etc as possible. The only issue I see here is the graininess of the original photo. The larger the grain in the original the less desirable the 36 x 36 print will be.

mine is set to 4:3 and it works perfectly. I believe it can also work with 16:9, but I can't guarantee that now Cos I don't have it here with me. I have mine 20 feet away from the screen and the image is amazingly real. So good at that distance with a screen size of about 130inches diagonally ( pretty large) with great image and at 4:3 contrast ratio.

Hi Animal Man, Camera can be set to take pictures on 3:2 aspect ratio under Image Size setting. Vincent

My black and white negatives were pretty big when converted. I used Windows photo manager (edit button gives you several options for improving your pictures) to compress the file size. Worked great for me!

I have one and it only seems to output 16:9. I would like to change it to 4:3, but I don't see a way to control it. There are 2 buttons. One labeled "switch" that selects from the 3 available inputs (s-video, composite, hdmi) and another labeled "720/1080p" to select the output resolution.I don't see any communications port; so, I don't think the firmware can be altered, either... meh

Yes, I'm using Hikvision/Dahua 3MP cameras running in 2048x1500 resolution (higher than 1080P) at 20FPS and it's doing great. I have 5 cameras going into an Intel I5 based PC and it says it's using 32% CPU. Loving this software.

Hi Cliff,Hard to say. If you scan the image at 3200 DPI and blow it up to 24 x 36 you will lose allot of resolutions. The People you should ask is Plustek at (714) 670-7713. They will be open on Monday after 9 AM PST.
