Choosing Picture Qual-

ity Mode/Image Size 

(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)

The size of a stored still image and movie 
files depends on picture quality and size set-
tings.

When still images and movies are saved as 
image files, the image data is saved in a 
compressed file.
Picture Quality Mode specifies the compres-
sion ratio to use.
Picture Quality Mode is provided in three 
types;  N (Normal), F (Fine), and NC (Non-
compressed).
Normal Mode
The compression ratio is high, resulting in a 
small file. Normally, 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.
NC Mode
Image data is saved in a non-compressed 
TIFF file. This ensures clearer pictures than 
F2592 and N2592. However, the file size 
becomes larger and the recording time at 
shooting becomes longer.

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 pic-
tures, choose the larger size to obtain better 
results.

• Picture quality settings cannot be made for 

movies.

• The image sizes that can be set differ for 

still images and movies.

Files containing still images and movies are 
called Image Files.

Figures inside the bold frame indicate those 
shown on the screen.

• The Fine Mode is not available for 640 x 

480.

• By default, your camera is set to N1280.

For details, see "SD Memory Card Record-
ing Capacities" (P.162).
