Large/Fine
Records a 6.3-megapixel image with low-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image with
the highest image quality. Note that due to the large file size, fewer images can be recorded
on the CF card.
RAW
Records the image with lossless compression resulting in about 6.3 megapixels. Use this
mode when you want to use a personal computer to process the image afterward. Due to
the large file size, fewer images can be recorded on the CF card.
Large/Normal
Records a 6.3-megapixel image with high-compression JPEG. It saves the JPEG image
with a relatively high image quality while enabling more images to be recorded on the CF
card.
Medium/Fine
Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 2.80-megapixel image and saves it as a
JPEG image via low compression. While the JPEG images have medium image quality, a
reasonable number of images can be recorded on the CF card.
Medium/Normal
Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 2.80-megapixel image and saves it as a
JPEG image via high compression. This mode enables more images than the <
> mode
to be recorded on the CF card.
Small/Fine
Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 1.60-megapixel image and saves it as a
JPEG image via low compression. Use this mode when the image size is less important
than being able to record more images on the CF card.
Small/Normal
Converts the approx. 6.30-megapixel image to a 1.60-megapixel image and saves it as a
JPEG image via high compression. Use this mode when you want to record a maximum
number of images on the CF card.
