Description
The highest-quality mode. Images are saved as
uncompressed data, which is the best for
printing or image-processing on a computer.
This mode has different resolutions to choose
from, depending on how it is used.
A high quality mode using the JPEG format.
Because the compression rate is very low, high
quality images can be stored. In addition, you
can increase the resolution with the Enlarge
Size function. This is useful when printing on
large paper such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36
cm).
A high quality mode using the JPEG format, with
medium compression. Because the
compression rate is higher than SHQ, file sizes
are smaller, so more images can be saved to a
card. Like SHQ, resolution can be increased by
using the Enlarge Size function.
The most compressed modes. For each one,
you can also choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or
NORMAL (to save more images). Select the
best settings for your purpose (printing, Internet
pages, etc.).
