Taking Photographs—Image Quality and Size
The Function Dial
With the function dial set to QUAL, rotate the main command dial to cycle
through image-quality settings as shown below.
* You cannot choose between uncompressed and compressed NEF modes using the
function dial. Use the Image Quality option to choose the NEF mode.
Image Size
Image size is measured in pixels. Smaller sizes produce smaller files, making
them suited to distribution via e-mail or inclusion in web pages. Conversely,
the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without
becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose image size according to the space
available on the memory card and the task at hand.
