Selecting Record Modes

Choose the best record mode for your purposes (printing, editing on a
computer, web-site editing, etc.). To see how large SmartMedia memory
capacity is under various conditions (such as different resolutions,
compressions, or file formats), refer to the table on page 79. The numbers in
the table are approximate.
Record
mode
TIFF The highest-quality mode. Images are saved
as uncompressed data, which is the best for
printing or image-processing on a computer.
SHQ A high quality mode using the JPEG format.
Because the compression rate is very low,
high quality images can be stored.
HQ A high quality mode using the JPEG format,
with medium compression. Because the
compression rate is higher than SHQ, file
sizes are smaller, so more images can be
saved to a card.
SQ1 The most compressed modes. SQ2 has 3
SQ2 resolutions available. Select the setting most
suitable to your application (printing, Web
pages, etc.).
