Large/Fine

Records a 6.3-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image with the highest image quality. Note that due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.

Large/Normal

Records a 6.3-megapixel image with high-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image with a relatively high image quality while enabling more images to be recorded on the CF card.

Medium/Fine

Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 2.80-megapixel image and saves it as a JPEG image via low compression. While the JPEG images have medium image quality, a reasonable number of images can be recorded on the CF card.

Medium/Normal

Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 2.80-megapixel image and saves it as a

JPEG image via high compression. This mode enables more images than the < > mode to be recorded on the CF card.

Small/Fine

Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 1.60-megapixel image and saves it as a JPEG image via low compression. Use this mode when the image size is less important than being able to record more images on the CF card.

Small/Normal

Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 1.60-megapixel image and saves it as a JPEG image via high compression. Use this mode when you want to record a maximum number of images on the CF card.

RAW

Records the image with lossless compression resulting in about 6.3 megapixels. Use this mode when you want to use a personal computer to process the image afterward. Due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.
