Changing the Resolution

and Compression

You can change the resolution and compression (exclud- ing movies) settings to suit the purpose of the image you are about to shoot. The resolution gets higher in the order

S(Small), M (Medium), and L (Large). Use a higher resolution if you wish to make a large print. Conversely, use a lower resolution if you wish to print on small objects, such as labels, to send images electronically, or

to fit more images on a CF card.

The compression gets higher in the order (Superfine), (Fine) and (Normal). Select (Superfine) for a higher quality image, or (Normal) if you wish to fit more images on a CF card. The (Fine) setting provides adequate quality for standard shots.
