The following table shows the file size and quality of one still (JPEG) recorded on card:

Quality		File size		Application
	DZ-GX20E	DZ-MV780E	DZ-MV750E/730E
FINE	Approx. 1,024 KB	Approx. 512 KB	Approx. 128 KB	When image quality is prioritised
NORM	Approx. 768 KB	Approx. 384 KB	Approx. 64 KB	Standard quality
ECO	Approx. 512 KB	Approx. 256 KB	Approx. 32 KB	When number of stills is prioritised
				(quality will be slightly inferior)

Although still images are recorded on DVD-RAM disc only in the FINE mode, the quality mode can be chosen when recording stills on card. (p. 93)

The file size of a photo recorded on DVD-RAM disc in “N” status is equal to or larger than that recorded on card using the FINE quality in “P”.

* JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group.

JPEG is one of the photo image compression standards. It is widely used in digital still cameras since JPEG files can be used on ordinary PC. When this DVD video camera/recorder records on DVD- RAM disc in “N” status, a JPEG photo will be recorded, along with a photo that conforms to the DVD video recording (DVD-VR) format which is used to be output to TV (see “Terminology”,

p. 152). Only JPEG photos will be recorded on SD memory card.

Note:

•No still can be recorded on DVD-R disc.

•Since the file size is restricted in all quality modes when recording photos on card (P), the quality of photos on card may be inferior to those recorded on DVD-RAM disc (N).
