size setting. However, because this increases the
amount of data in each frame, the remaining
number of available frames is reduced.

To produce high-quality prints

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.
