Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size

(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

The size of a stored still image depends on the Picture Quality Mode and image size settings.

There are two Picture Quality Modes: N (Normal) and F (Fine).

Picture Quality Modes

Symbol	Mode	Description
	Normal	The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally,
		shooting is done in this mode.
	Fine	The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the picture
		quality is better than in Normal.
