Image mode
Pictures taken with a digital camera are recorded as
image files. The size of the files, and with it the num-
ber of images that can be recorded in the memory or
on the memory card, depends on the size and quality
of the images. Before shooting, choose image quality
and size according to how you plan to use the picture.
* To reduce the amount of memory each shot occupies, pictures are compressed as they are saved
to the memory or memory card. Compression selectively reduces the quality of the image. The
more a picture is compressed, the more noticeable this loss of quality is likely to be. The figures
show the appropriate compression ratio for each setting.
† All figures are approximate. Dimensions in "Description" column assume a printer resolution of
approximately 200 dpi, dimensions in "Print size" column a resolution of approximately 300 dpi.
If in doubt, choose H Normal (2592) or F Normal (2288) . Pictures can be re-
duced or cropped when played back in the monitor after shooting (
Q 44, 83).
