Image-Recording Quality
Four image-recording quality settings are provided. Images recorded in the <
>, <
>, or
<
> mode do not require processing afterward. However, an image recorded in the <
>
mode will require processing with a personal computer.
MENU
Select the image-recording quality.
While pressing the <
> button, turn the <
>
dial to select the desired image-recording quality.
Then let go of the <
> button.
If you select the <
>, <
>, or <
> JPEG
format, the <
> icon will be displayed in the
viewfinder’s lower right corner.
Large/Fine
Records an 11-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG. It saves the
JPEG image with the highest image quality. Note that due to the large file size,
fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.
Large/Normal
Records an 11-megapixel image with high-compression JPEG. It saves the
JPEG image with a relatively high image quality while enabling more images to
be recorded on the CF card.
Small/Fine
Records an 11-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG after conversion
to a 2.7-megapixel image. It maximizes the number of images that can be
recorded on the CF card.
RAW
Records the image with lossless compression resulting in about 11 megapixels.
Use this mode when you want to use a personal computer to process the image
afterward. Due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF
card.
