Understanding image quality and storage

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your video and still images.

Your camcorder has three image quality settings:

Super fine

Fine

Normal

The Super fine setting provides the highest resolution and quality. However, this setting generates larger files that require more memory storage space. The Super fine setting is recommended for printed output.

The Normal setting provides lower resolution and smaller files that take up less memory storage space. The Normal setting is good for sharing images through e-mail or displaying them on a Web page.
