Image Quality and Size
Together, image quality (the amount of compression) and size determine how much
space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Before shooting, choose image
quality and image size according to how you plan to use the photograph and the capacity
of the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also
require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be recorded on the memory
card.
The approximate maximum file size of individual photographs and
the total number of photographs that can be recorded at the
selected setting are also shown in the Quick settings display while
image quality or size options are displayed. Use the display only as
a guide. Typical file sizes are listed in “Memory Card Capacity and
Image Quality/Size” (A 178).
