Resizing images captured by EOS 7D Mark II with the camera (Resizing an image to make the pixel count lower) (EOS 7D Mark II)

Solution

You can resize a JPEG image to make the pixel count lower and save it as a new image. Resizing an image is possible only with JPEG L/M/S1/ S2 images. JPEG S3 and RAW images cannot be resized.

How to resize images
1. Set the camera's power switch to <ON>.



2. Press the <MENU> button to display the menu screen.



3. Press the <> button and select the [ ] tab.

4. Turn the <> dial to select the [ ] tab.

5. Turn the <> dial to select [Resize], then press <>.

6. Turn the <> dial to select the image you want to resize, then press <>.
  • If you press the < > button and turn the <> dial counterclockwise, you can select an image from the index display.

7. Select the desired image, then press < >.


NOTE
The target sizes (M / S1 / S2 / S3) in this window will be smaller than the original size. For example, if the original image size is S1, you can select S2 or S3.

8. Save the image.
  • Turn the <> dial and select [OK] to save the resized image.
  • Check the destination folder and image file number, then press < >.
  • To resize another image, repeat steps 6 to 8.



Image Sizes
The image size displayed in step 7, such as [***M ****x****], has a 3:2 aspect ratio. The image size according to aspect ratios is shown in the table below. The asterisked image-recording quality figures do not exactly match the aspect ratio. The image will be cropped slightly.
