A Image Mode
Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality
(compression) at which pictures are recorded. Choose the image mode best
suited to the manner in which pictures will be used and the capacity of the
internal memory or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger
the size at which it can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably
“grainy,” but limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and
playback modes (A 8, 9).
C Image Mode
• Change made to this setting applies to all shooting modes (except the movie mode).
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that
Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously” (A110) for more information.
