Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size

(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

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

Picture Quality Mode is provided in three types; N (Normal), F (Fine), and NC (Non compressed).

Types of Modes You Can Select

Symbol	Mode	Description
	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.
	NC Mode	Image data is saved in a non-compressed TIFF file (YUV-TIFF). This
		ensures clearer pictures than F3264 and N3264. However, the file size
		becomes larger and the recording time at shooting becomes longer.

Note

•Multi-Shot shooting and Auto Bracket shooting is not available in NC Mode.

•Some software or print services on the market may not be able to display a non- compressed TIFF file shot in NC Mode (YUV-TIFF). If you are using Windows, convert the file into the BMP format by using the ImageMixer provided. If you are using Macintosh, process the image first by using iPhoto and then convert the file format.
