DVANCED RECORDING
Changing image size affects the number of pixels in
each image. The greater the image size, the larger
the file size. Choose image size based on the final
use of the image - smaller images will be more
suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will
produce higher quality prints.

IMAGE SIZE AND IMAGE QUALITY
Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of pixels
in the image. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the
larger the file sizes. If economical use of the memory card is important, use the economy
mode. Standard image quality is sufficient for normal usage. The fine mode will produce
the highest quality image and the largest image files.
Image size and quality must be set before the picture is taken. Changes are displayed
on the LCD monitor. Changes made on one menu affects all exposure modes except
movie. Image size and quality must be reset manually. See navigating the recording
mode menu section on page 44.
If image size or quality are changed, the frame counter will display the approximate
number of images that can be recorded at that setting on the installed memory card. One
memory card can contain images with differing sizes and qualities. The number of
images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of the card and
the file size of the images. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects
can be compressed further than others. See the chart on the following page.
Fine - high-quality JPEG image.
Standard - the default setting. (JPEG)
