Shooting Features
Changing the Image Quality and Image Size
The image quality (compression ratio) and image size can be selected for
recording.
Image Quality
With a higher image quality setting, a higher detail of image expression is retained,
but the number of images that can be saved (A74) is reduced because the file
size also becomes larger.
C Image Quality Setting
• The setting for image quality is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during shooting and
playback (A12 to 14).
• The image quality can be changed by selecting Image quality and rotating the command dial
when menus are displayed.
• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for shooting modes M and Easy
panorama and 3D photography in scene mode).
• Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not
Available in Combination” (A75) for more information.
C More Information
• See “Number of Exposures Remaining” (A74) for more information.
• See “File and Folder Names” (E90) for more information.
