[ PICTURE SIZE] / [ QUALITY]
Setting a picture size and
quality that matches your
use of the pictures
A digital picture is made of numerous dots
called pixels. Although you cannot see
the difference on the camera’s screen, the
more the pixels the fi ner the picture will
be when it is printed on a large piece of
paper or displayed on a computer monitor.
Picture quality refers to the compression
rate when saving digital pictures.
Number of pixels
Select a higher number of pixels for clearer
pictures when printing.
Select a lower number of pixels to store
more pictures. Fewer pixels also means it
is easier to send pictures by e-mail or use
them on a homepage.

Quality
G Fine (Low compression):
This type gives priority to picture
quality. Picture quality will be high.
H Standard (High compression):
This type gives priority to the
number of recordable pictures and
records standard quality pictures.
The number of pixels that can be
selected differs depending on the aspect
ratio. If you change the aspect ratio, set
the picture size.
[EZ] is an abbreviation of [Extended
optical Zoom].
The extended optical zoom does not
work in [HIGH SENS.] and [HI-SPEED
BURST] mode, so the picture size for
[EZ] is not displayed.
Pictures may have a mosaic-like
appearance depending on the subject or
the recording condition.
Refer to
P 120 for the number of
recordable pictures.
