A Image Mode - Nikon CoolPix S52 User Manual

A Image Mode

Choose an image mode, which is the combination of image size and image quality
(compression), according to how you plan to use the picture and the capacity of
the internal memory or memory card. The larger the image, the larger the size at
which it can be printed or displayed without becoming noticeably "grainy,"
limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.
