Quality

You can increase the number of recordable pictures without changing the picture size if quality is set to [STANDARD].

Fine (Low compression):

This gives priority to picture quality. Picture quality will be high.

Standard (High compression): This gives priority to the number of recordable pictures. Standard quality pictures are recorded.

The number of pixels that can be selected differs depending on the aspect ratio. If you change the aspect ratio, set the picture size.

“EZ” is an abbreviation of [Extended optical Zoom]. This is a function which further extends the optical zoom ratio. If you select a picture size with EZ displayed, the zoom ratio is extended to a maximum of 3.8k when the digital zoom is set to [OFF]. (P29)
