Selecting the Size and Quality of Still
Images
Still images are recorded on the memory card or the disc using the JPEG (Joint
Photographic Experts Group) compression.
You can select the size and quality of still images. As a general rule select a larger image
size for higher quality stills (for example for printing and enlarging); or a smaller image
size if you want to record more images on the memory card or want smaller file sizes (for
example for e-mail attachments or for web pages).
The actual number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card or disc will vary
depending on the subject and the recording conditions. The estimated figures are as
follows:
Number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card:
Number of still images that can be recorded on a disc:
* This number is the number of images that can be recorded on the disc; however, the
maximum number of remaining images displayed on the screen will be 9999.
