Image Quality

The image quality setting determines how many photographs can be stored on a single memory card. The following settings are available:

 

 

Approx. No.

BASIC

pixels)

HI (M-REC only)

To choose an image quality setting, press the button. The quality setting will change each time the button is pressed (note that an image quality of HI is only available when the mode dial is set to M-REC). Image quality is displayed in the control panel and LCD monitor.

At settings of BASIC, NORMAL, and FINE, the camera uses JPEG compression to reduce the amount of memory required to store photographs. JPEG compression results in a slight loss in image quality, which grows more noticeable at higher compression ratios. The difference in quality is illustrated below:

BASIC

NORMAL

FINE

(high compression)

(medium compression)

(low compression)

While a setting of NORMAL represents the best trade-off be- tween memory and image quality in most cases, a setting of BASIC can be used to save memory. A setting of FINE is suitable for photographs that will be enlarged or printed at high resolution.
