(2) QUALITY:

Quality determines the file size and the effect of the captured image that is displayed or printed and is based on the amount of compression. High quality images appear sharp since the camera is not compressing the information as much, but also require more space for storage.

There are three quality modes:

• Economic- 40 KB of memory space per image.

• Standard- 92 KB of memory space per image.

• High-

232 KB of memory space per image.

Note: The camera’s internal 2 MB memory can store up to 46 Eco- nomic, 20 Standard, or 8 High quality images (depending on the compression ratio), or any combination of the three.
