Image-Recording Quality
MENU
Four image-recording quality settings are provided. Images recorded in the <
< > mode do not require processing afterward. However, an image recorded in the <
mode will require processing with a personal computer.
Large/Fine
Records a high-resolution image with low-compression JPEG. This mode
compresses a 4.06 megapixel image into a file size of approximately 2.4 MB.
Due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.
Large/Normal
Records a high-resolution image with high-compression JPEG. This mode
compresses a 4.06 megapixel image into a file size of approximately 1.3 MB.
Thanks to a smaller file size than Large/Fine, more images can be recorded on
the CF card.
Small/Fine
Records a low-resolution image with low-compression JPEG. After
downsampling the 4.06 megapixel image to approximately 1 megapixel, the file
is compressed to approximately 1.1 MB. Thanks to the smaller file size, even
more images can be recorded on the CF card.
RAW
Records the image with lossless compression resulting in about 4.15
megapixels. Use this mode when you want to use a personal computer to
process the image afterward. Due to the large file size, fewer images can be
recorded on the CF card.
