SELECTING IMAGE QUALITY

Select the image quality before recording the image. This digital camera supports
four image quality modes, super-fine (S.FINE), fine (FINE), standard (STD.), and
economy (ECON.).
,
Image quality is related to the rate of compression of the image. The rate of
compression increases, and image quality decreases, in order super-fine
standard
The lower the rate of compression of the image, the higher its quality. If image
quality is important, use the super-fine or fine modes. Note, however, that as the rate
of image compression is low (no compression in the super-fine mode), the number of
images able to be saved in the compact flash card will be less than in the economy
or standard modes.
If economic use of the compact flash card is important (the need to save as many
images as possible in it), use the economy or standard modes. Note, however, that
as the rate of image compression is high, the quality of the images will be lower than
in the super-fine or fine modes.
