•JPEG images are recorded in the image size selected by the [IMAGE SIZE] menu. TIFF images are recorded in [1600×1200] size in DSC-S50, and [1280×960] size in DSC-S30 other than when [1600 (3:2)] or [1280 (3:2)] is selected.

•Writing data takes more time than in normal recording.

•The supplied “Memory Stick” (4 MB) does not have sufficient capacity to record uncompressed images.
