Olympus C-211 - Manual (Page 122)

* The factory setting is HQ.
† Although high-quality images do not appear larger on the monitor, they do appear
larger when displayed on a computer screen.
Indication on monitor...
This is a permanent setting.
This setting remains in effect until you change it. It is not lost at power-off.
Things to remember about higher quality...
As you increase the quality, you increase the time it takes to write images into the card
(the green lamp will blink for a longer time after you shoot) and the time it takes to
display images from the card onto the monitor. You also reduce the number of pictures
that you can store on the card. The highest quality, SHQ-TIFF, is particularly slow and
significantly reduces the number of images you can store on the card.
If you change to a higher recording mode when the card’s remaining capacity is
already running low, a “card alert” mark may appear at the upper right of the monitor.
This mark means that the card does not have enough space to accommodate the
higher mode. Select a lower mode so that the mark disappears.
