Selecting the Size and Quality of Still Images

Still images are recorded on the memory card or the disc using the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compression.

You can select the size and quality of still images. As a general rule select a larger image size for higher quality stills (for example for printing and enlarging); or a smaller image size if you want to record more images on the memory card or want smaller file sizes (for example for e-mail attachments or for web pages).

The actual number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card or disc will vary depending on the subject and the recording conditions. The estimated figures are as follows:

Number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card:
