7.4 JPEG Compression
There are 5 selectable levels of JPEG compression:
• Very High (32 Kbytes Typical)
• High (48 Kbytes Typical)
• Medium (72 Kbytes Typical)
• Low (100 Kbytes Typical)
• None (Lossless) (480 Kbytes Typical)
These are typical values with the time stamp enabled on the image
NOTE
(640x504 pixels). The size of the images varies with the image
content.
Selecting None will produce the best quality JPEG files with Lossless
compression. Lossless compression does not introduce additional distortions and
every pixel is the same size as in the original image. Very High compression will
produce the smallest files but with the most degradation of the image.
Small files may be important for slow telecommunication links or for applications
that require a large number of pictures to be stored onto the memory card.
High compression is the recommended setting to produce satisfactory results for
most applications while taking advantage of the benefits of smaller file sizes.
