Image size
The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. You can
save your pictures at a large image size to get clearer prints. However, as the image
size increases, the file size (data size) also increases, which decreases the number
of pictures that can be saved.
Compression
In record modes other than [RAW], pictures are compressed and saved. The higher
the compression, the less clear the image will be.

Raw data
This is unprocessed data which has not been subjected to color conversion or white
balance, sharpness and contrast adjustment. Use the OLYMPUS Master software
to display the picture data on a computer. You can also view the data with Photoshop
software by installing the Plug-in available from the Olympus website. Raw data
cannot be displayed using ordinary software, and print reservations cannot be made.
Pictures taken with the record mode set to raw data can be edited with this camera.

3:2
The image aspect ratio is normally 4:3. If the
aspect ratio is changed to 3:2, the image can be
printed at a photo store without losing the image
borders.
