image quality becomes. As the number of recorded
pixels becomes smaller, you will be able to record more
frames to an xD-Picture Card.
• The quality setting is retained even when the camera is
turned off or the mode setting is changed.
• When changing the quality setting, the number of
available frames also changes (➝p.118). The numbers
to the right of setting show the number of available
frames.
