Basic Image Recording | Casio EX-M20 guide

BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

NOTE

•Use the “Fine” setting when image quality is your top priority and file size is secondary. Conversely, use the “Economy” setting when file size is your top priority and image quality is secondary.

IMPORTANT!

•Actual file size depends on the type of image you record. This means that the remaining image capacity noted on the monitor screen may not be exactly accurate (pages 23, 183).
