Setting image quality

Depending on the effect you wish to achieve, four image quality modes are provided with this camera. Pictures taken in Hi image quality mode are uncompressed images with much detail , while pictures taken at the Basic setting have lower quality due to high compression. It follows that more frames can be shot using the Basic mode than the Hi mode , as uncompressed images take up a considerable amount of memory space (see chart below for details).

While pressing the QUALITY button , rotate the command dial .

-The . arrow in the LCD panel p oints to one of the following settings.

[ BASIC - NORMAL - FINE - HI J
