(FINE): The quality of the image recorded in a “Memory Stick” is higher than the image recorded in a floppy disk even if the image size is same. Also, the file size recorded in a “Memory Stick” is larger than the file recorded in a floppy disk.

The image is recorded in the ratio of three to two to fit the printing paper size. Using this image size, the margin of an image is not printed out. However, the slight amount of the upper and lower of the image being displayed on the LCD screen is not recorded.
