Guide to Image-recording Quality Settings (Approx.)
Figures for the file size, possible shots, and maximum burst during continuous
shooting are based on Canon’s testing standards (ISO 100 and Standard
Picture Style) using a 2GB card. These figures will vary depending on the
subject, card brand, ISO speed, Picture Style, Custom Functions, etc.
The maximum burst applies to high-speed continuous shooting. Figures in
parentheses apply to an Ultra DMA (UDMA) 2GB card based on Canon’s
testing standards.

If you select both RAW and JPEG, the same image will be captured in
both types at the selected image-recording quality. The two images will
be saved in the same folder with the same file numbers (file extension
JPG for JPEG and CR2 for RAW).
When D1 or D2 is selected, the LCD panel will display D.
The icons are read as follows: 1 (RAW), D1 (Small RAW1),
D2 (Small RAW2), 7 (Fine), 8 (Normal), 3 (Large), 4 (Medium),
and 6 (Small).
