Image Size And Image Quality - Minolta Dimage X20 Instruction Manual

IMAGE SIZE AND IMAGE QUALITY

Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each
image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size.
Choose image size based on the final use of the image -
smaller images will be more suitable for web sites whereas
larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.
Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of pixels in the
image. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If
economical use of the memory card is important, use the economy mode. Standard image quality is
sufficient for normal usage.
The fine, standard, and economy settings are formatted as a JPEG file. Fine, standard, and economy
files can be recorded as color or monochrome images (p. 46).
Image size and quality must be set before the picture is taken. Changes are displayed on the LCD
monitor. Image size and quality must be reset manually. Image size and quality are set in the main
menu of the the recording-mode. See page 34.
