The default Compression setting is Better. The Compression setting remains set when you turn the camera off.

NOTE The Compression setting affects the number of images that can be saved on your memory card. Fewer images will be saved on the memory card at the Best setting than at the default Better setting. Similarly, fewer images will be saved at the default Better setting than at the Good setting. See Memory card capacity on page 102.

Description

 

Best

This setting produces the highest-quality

 

 

images, but uses the most memory. This is

 

 

recommended if you plan to enlarge

 

 

images, or print images to a size larger than

 

 

18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10 inches).

 

 

 

 

Better

This setting produces high-quality images

 

 

and requires less memory than the Best

 

 

setting. This is recommended for printing

 

 

images up to 18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10

 

 

inches).

 

 

 

 

Good

This is the most memory-efficient setting,

 

 

ideal for images that you want to e-mail or

 

 

post to the Internet.
