4Record mode, white balance, and picture mode

Selecting the record mode

You can select a record mode in which to take pictures. Choose the record mode that is best for your purpose (printing, editing on a PC, website editing, etc.).

Recording formatsJPEG

For JPEG images, select a combination of image size (Y, X, W) and compression rate (SF, F, N, B). An image consists of pixels (dots). When you enlarge an image with a low pixel count, it will be displayed as a mosaic. If an image has a high pixel count, the file size

4 (amount of data) will be larger and the number of storable still pictures will be lower. The higher the compression, the smaller the file size. However, the image will have less clarity when played back.
