A Image Mode (Changing Image Quality/Image Size)
Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality
(compression) at which images are saved. Choose the image mode best suited to
the manner in which images will be used and the capacity of the internal memory
or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it
can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably “grainy,” but limiting the
number of images that can be saved.
