Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size
(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)
The size of stored still image and movie files depends on picture quality and size settings.
About Picture Quality Mode
When still images and movies are saved as image
files, the image data is saved in a compressed
file.
Picture Quality Mode specifies the compression
ratio to use.
In Picture Quality Mode, there are two types, N
(Normal) and F (Fine).
Normal Mode
The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Nor-
mally, shooting is done in this mode.
Fine Mode
The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but
the picture quality is better than in Normal Mode.
• In the CALS mode, the picture quality and image size are fixed at N1280. They cannot be changed.
• Picture quality settings cannot be made for movies.
• The image sizes that can be set differ for still images and movies.
Image Files
Files containing still images and movies are called Image Files.

About Image Size
Image size relates to how large the image is. A
small image is best for sending via email and
using on Web sites. When printing pictures,
choose the larger size to obtain better results.
