Shooting Features
Changing the Image Quality and Image Size
The image quality (compression ratio) and image size can be selected for
recording.
• When the mode dial is rotated to e (movie) mode or h (movie custom
setting) mode, Movie options can be set (A106).
Available Image Quality
Lower compression ratios result in higher quality pictures, but also larger file sizes,
limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
* NRW (RAW) images cannot be selected in scene mode or special effects mode (except for Zoom
exposure and Defocus during exposure).
