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 are more suitable for
web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints.
Image quality controls the file type and rate of compression. RAW is high-quality image file. The
extra fine, fine, and standard settings produce JPEG files at various rates of compression. 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 standard mode. The RAW & JPEG option
creates two image files at one time, a large RAW file and a fine quality JPEG file with an image size
selected with the menu. The image files are saved with the same file name, but with different
extensions (p. 126).
In the RAW image-quality mode, the image size is set to large and cannot be changed. The image
size is not be displayed on the monitors. The enlarged playback and print functions cannot be used.
Unlike the other image-quality modes, RAW image data is unprocessed and requires image
processing before it can be used. To process the RAW data, the DiMAGE Viewer or the optional
DiMAGE Master software is required.

Approximate file sizes.
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images
that can be stored on the memory card at the camera’s image
quality and size settings. If the settings are changed, the frame
counter adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approxi-
mate file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the
counter or may decrease it by more than one. When the frame
counter displays zero, it indicates no more images at the image
size and quality settings can be captured. Changing those set-
tings may allow more images to be saved to the card.
Camera Notes
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. One memory card can contain images of differing sizes and quality.
The actual file size is determined by the scene; some subjects can be compressed further than
others.
