jImage Quality

Pictures are stored in compressed JPEG format. The more pictures are com- pressed, the less memory they require (B 67). Compression also however selec- tively reduces image quality, and the more pictures are compressed the more noticeable this loss of quality is likely to be.

Option	Description
m Fine	Fine quality images (compression ratio of 1:4), suitable for enlargement
	or high-quality prints.
Normal	Normal image quality (compression of 1:8), suited to most applications.
l (default)
k Basic	Basic image quality (compression of 1:16), suitable for pictures that will
	be distributed by e-mail or used in web pages.

Image quality is shown by an icon in the monitor (B 4–5).

nImage Size

Image size is measured in pixels. Pictures taken at smaller sizes require less memory (B 67), making them suited to distribution by e-mail or the web. Con- versely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or dis- played without becoming noticeably “grainy.”
