Photography Techniques
PIXELS and QUALITY
Pixels are the dots that make up an image. More dots produce images with a higher resolution
but the resulting image files are larger meaning that fewer files can be stored on the memory card.
Quality is the compression ratio used when digitizing captured image data. "FINE" uses a low
compression ratio to minimize corruption of image details. "NORMAL" uses a higher compression
ratio that produces lower quality images but means that more images can be stored on a memory
card,
