Image Quality
Image data in the COOLPIX 300’s internal memory are stored using JPEG
compression to reduce the amount of memory they consume. When
pictures are compressed with JPEG, some data are lost and the quality of
the final image is degraded. The more a picture is compressed, the more
noticeable this loss of quality will be. The COOLPIX 300 offers the
following two settings for image quality, each represented by a different
icon when the camera is in recording mode. Choose image quality for each
photograph according to the type of subject and your memory needs.
Fine Setting the image quality to “Fine” produces high-quality
photographs. Up to 66 photographs can be recorded at
this setting.
Normal
Setting the image quality to “Normal” doubles the
compression ration, reducing the amount of memory
needed to store each photograph. Up to 132 photographs
can be recorded at this setting.
