Available compression levels

no-compression setting. Each level uses a different method to
process the image data, providing several choices of image
quality and storage requirements:

level quality
Comp off Best
No loss 2:1 Best
Lossy 5:1 Good
Lossy 10:1 Fair
Storage space requirements for all compression levels except
"Comp off" (no compression) vary according to picture
scene. For this reason, storage space requirements and images
per CompactFlash card presented above are typical.
For the highest quality images and efficient use of storage
capacity, the No loss 2:1 setting is recommended. This
compression mode reduces the storage requirements for each
image while reproducing the original digital values with 100-

modes dramatically reduce storage requirements, but they
