Using the memory card
ƈChoose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression rate) of pictures according to
how you intend to use the pictures you have taken.
Pictures with larger recorded size or the more are clearer when printed.
The number of pictures that can be taken (the number of pictures that can be recorded on an
Memory Card) becomes less with larger file sizes.
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the quality level, exposure control,
resolution of the printer and a variety of other factors so you do not need to select more than the
required number of pixels. For example, to print in postcard size, 2M (1824X1216) is adequate.
Set the appropriate recorded size and quality level depending on purpose.
Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and quality level for images on the [CAPTURE
MENU] menu.
