Pictures taken with a digital camera are recorded as image files. The size of the
files, and with it the number of images that can be recorded, depends on the size
and quality of the images. Before shooting, choose an image mode according to
how you plan to use the picture.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and
playback modes (A 6, 7).
