Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality (compression) at which images are saved. Choose the image mode best suited to the manner in which images will be used and the capacity of the internal memory or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably “grainy,” but limiting the number of images that can be saved.
