Changing the Resolution / Compression
You can change the resolution and compression
(excluding movies) settings to suit your purpose.
Resolution
The resolution gets higher in the order
(Small), (Medium), (Large). Use a higher
resolution if you want to make a large print. Use
a lower resolution if you want to print on small
objects like labels or to send images electroni-
cally or to fit more images on a CF card.
Compression
The compression gets higher in the order
(Superfine), (Fine), (Normal). Select
(Superfine) for a higher quality image or (Nor-
mal) if you want to put more images on a CF
card. The
(Fine) settings provide adequate
quality for standard shots.
