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
the economical use of the memory card is important, use the economy mode. Standard image quality
is sufficient for normal usage.The super-fine mode will produce the highest quality image and the
largest image files. Depending on image size, when capturing super-fine images, a delay of up to fifty
seconds can occur as the image is saved to the memory card; the monitors will be blank and the
access lamp will glow during that period.
