Setting the compression ratio
Use the procedure given below to set the compression ratio. Even if the same resolution is used, you can change the compression ratio setting and increase the compression amount to capture more images by decreasing the image data size, or decrease the compression amount for no loss in image quality.
*The compression ratio cannot be set for video clips. Preparation

NOTE
About the resolution and compression settings
œThe image captured by a digital disk camera consists of a collection of sm resolution refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the number, t quality. As the resolution increases, the size of the resulting data also i number of images that can be captured decreases. To compensate for this, th camera is able to compress the data. This digital disk camera uses JPEG com
œIf JPEG compression is used, when the image is returned to its original size small portion of it is lost. The higher the compression ratio, the more of t
lost. Therefore, this digital disk camera also allows you to store image d compression to ensure that none of the original imageYis lostcompres. This is the ratio. It is important to s applications.
