Choosing Picture Qual- ity Mode/Image Size

(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

The size of a stored still image and movie files depends on picture quality and size set- tings.

About Picture Quality Mode

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

Picture Quality Mode specifies the compres- sion ratio to use.

In Picture Quality Mode, there are two types,

N(Normal) and F (Fine).

Normal Mode

The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally, 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.

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 pic- tures, choose the larger size to obtain better results.

•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.
