BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Specifying Image Quality
Compressing an image before storage can cause a deterioration of its quality. The more an image is compressed, the greater the loss of quality. The image quality setting specifies the compression ratio to be used when an image is stored in memory. You can select an image quality setting to suit your needs for higher quality or smaller file size.
Note that this setting is valid for snapshots only. For information about movie image quality, see page 105.
