[PICTURE SIZE] / [QUALITY]
Setting a picture size and 
quality that matches your 
use of the pictures
A digital picture is made of numerous dots 
called pixels. Although you cannot see 
the difference on the camera’s screen, the 
more the pixels the finer the picture will 
be when it is printed on a large piece of 
paper or displayed on a computer monitor. 
Picture quality refers to the compression 
rate when saving digital pictures.
Number of pixels
Select a higher number of pixels for clearer 
pictures when printing.
Select a lower number of pixels to store 
more pictures. Fewer pixels also means it 
is easier to send pictures by e-mail or use 
them on a homepage.

Quality
G Fine (Low compression):
This type gives priority to picture 
quality. Picture quality will be high.
H Standard (High compression):
This type gives priority to the 
number of recordable pictures and 
records standard quality pictures.
The number of pixels that can be 
selected differs depending on the aspect 
ratio. If you change the aspect ratio, set 
the picture size.
[EZ] is an abbreviation of [Extra optical 
Zoom].
The extra optical zoom does not work in 
[HIGH SENS.] and [HI-SPEED BURST] 
mode, so the picture size for [EZ] is not 
displayed.
Pictures may have a mosaic-like 
appearance depending on the subject or 
the recording condition.
