Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size

(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

The size of stored still image and movie files depends on picture quality and size settings.

About Picture Quality Mode

When still images and movies are saved as image files, the image data is saved in a compressed file.

Picture Quality Mode specifies the compression ratio to use.

In Picture Quality Mode, there are two types, N (Normal) and F (Fine).

About Image Size

Image size relates to how large the image is. A small image is best for sending via email and using on Web sites. When printing pictures, choose the larger size to obtain better results.

Normal Mode

The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Nor- mally, shooting is done in this mode.

Fine Mode

The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the picture quality is better than in Normal Mode.

• Picture quality settings cannot be made for movies.

• The image sizes that can be set differ for still images and movies.

Image Files

Files containing still images and movies are called Image Files.

Saving

Recording data as a file on a medium such as internal memory or SD Memory Card is called "Saving". This is a term generally used in computing when recording on floppy discs or a hard drive.
