NOTE
About the resolution and compression rate (see page 39) settings
œ The image captured by a digital camera is comprised of a collection of
small dots. The resolution refers to the number of these dots; the greater
the number, the higher the image quality. However, at high resolutions, the
volume of data increases, so the number of images that can be recorded
decreases. In a digital camera, the common method to compensate for this
is to compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression.
When JPEG compression is used and the image is returned to its original
size, an extremely small portion of the data is lost. The higher the
compression rate, the more of the original image is lost. For this reason,
this digital camera allows you a mode by which the image quality has a top
priority. This is the FINE (low compression) mode. By understanding the
resolution and compression characteristics, you can select the appropriate
settings that you require for your pictures.
