Changing the Compression Ratio (Image Quality)

Still Images

Movies

Choose from two compression ratios, [ ] (Super Fine) and [ ] (Fine), as

follows. For guidelines on how many shots at each compression ratio can

fit on a memory card, see “Number of Shots per Memory Card” (= 114).

Press the [ ] button, choose [ ] in the

menu, and choose the desired option

(= 24).

In [ ] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other
measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally,
you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other
means to secure the camera (= 60).

In [ ] mode, even after the flash fires, ensure that the main
subject does not move until the shutter sound is finished playing.

Off

For shooting without the flash.

If a blinking [ ] icon is displayed when you press the shutter
button halfway in camera-shake inducing, low-light conditions,
mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it still.

Just as with the AE lock (= 50), you can lock the exposure for the flash shots.

1

Lift the flash and set the flash to [ ]

(= 58).

Lock the flash exposure.

Aim the camera at the subject to shoot with

the exposure locked. With the shutter button

pressed halfway, press the [ ] button.

The flash fires, and when [ ] is displayed,

the flash output level is retained.

To unlock FE, release the shutter button

and press the [ ] button again. In this

case, [ ] is no longer displayed.

Compose the shot and shoot.
