About Picture Quality Mode
When still images and movies are saved as image
files, the image data is saved in a compressed
file.
Picture Quality Mode specifies the compression
ratio to use.
In Picture Quality Mode, there are two types, N
(Normal) and F (Fine).
Normal Mode
The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Nor-
mally, shooting is done in this mode.
Fine Mode
The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but
the picture quality is better than in Normal Mode.
About Image Size
Image size relates to how large the image is. A
small image is best for sending via email and
using on Web sites. When printing pictures,
choose the larger size to obtain better results.
• In the CALS mode, the picture quality and image size are fixed at N1280. They cannot be changed.
• Picture quality settings cannot be made for movies.
• The image sizes that can be set differ for still images and movies.
Image Files
Files containing still images and movies are called Image Files.
Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size
(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)
The size of stored still image and movie files depends on picture quality and size settings.
