You can select any combination of 3 file size
settings and 3 quality (compression ratio)
settings according to the type of shot you want
to take.
To produce high-quality prints
Use the largest available file size with a low
compression ratio (FINE or NORMAL). However,
because this increases the amount of data in
each frame, the remaining number of available
frames is reduced.
For use on the Internet
These images are intended to be viewed on a
personal computer screen, so you should use a
small file size (640 ×480). Because this reduces
the amount of data in each frame, the remaining
number of available frames is increased.
Quality (compression ratio)
Choose [FINE] for better image quality or
[BASIC] to increase the number of available
prints.
In most cases, the [BASIC] setting provides
more than adequate image quality.
➀Use “a()” or “b()” to change the file
size setting and “d” or “c” to change the
quality setting.
➁Press the “MENU/OK” button to confirm the
setting.
