BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

To specify 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 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.
