Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality 
(compression) at which images are saved. Choose the image mode best suited to 
the manner in which images will be used and the capacity of the internal memory 
or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it 
can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably “grainy,” but limiting the 
number of images that can be saved.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and
