SPECIFYING THE IMAGE QUALITY MODE
This camera has 3 image quality modes; “FINE” (fine), “STD.” (standard) and “ECON.” (economy).
The image quality is related to the compression rate of the image. The compres-
sion rate is higher in the order of “FINE” 
“STD.” 
“ECON.”. The higher the compression rate is, the lower the image quality is. When you want high quality images, select “FINE”. However, as the compression rate is low, the number of the images to be recorded in the CF card is less than that in the “STD.” or “ECON.” mode. When you want to record images in the card as much as possi- ble, select “STD.” or “ECON.”. However, as the compression rate is high, the image quality is lower than that in the “FINE” mode.
The compression rate, image recording format, image file size and the record- able number of the image using the CF card of 8 MB in each FINE, STD. and ECON. are as follows.
The compression rate | FINE (Fine) | (Standard) | ECON.(Economy) |
| about 1/6STD. | about 1/12 | about 1/25 |
