Choosing Picture Quality Mode/Image Size
(PIC QUALITY/SIZE)
The size of a stored still image and movie file depends on picture
quality and size settings.
Picture Quality Mode is provided in three types; N (Normal), F
(Fine), and NC (Noncompressed).
Combining Picture Quality Mode and Image Size.
In Movie Mode, 320 X 240 or 160 X 120 can be selected.
Note
• Multi-Shot shooting and Auto Bracket shooting is not available in NC Mode.
• Some software or print services on the market may not be able to display a non-
compressed TIFF file shot in NC Mode (YUV-TIFF). If you are using Windows, convert the
file into the BMP format by using the ImageMixer provided. If you are using Macintosh,
process the image first by using iPhoto and then convert the file format.
Types of Modes You Can Select
Symbol Mode Description
Normal Mode The compression ratio is high, resulting in a small file. Normally, shooting
is done in this mode.
Fine Mode The compression ratio is low, resulting in a large file, but the picture
quality is better than in Normal Mode.
NC Mode Image data is saved in a non-compressed TIFF file (YUV-TIFF). This
ensures clearer pictures than F3264 and N3264. However, the file size
becomes larger and the recording time at shooting becomes longer.
