Setting image quality

Depending on the effect you wish to achieve, four image quality

modes are provided with this camera. Pictures taken in Hi

image quality mode are uncompressed images with much

detail, while pictures taken at the Basic setting have lower

quality due to high compression. It follows that more frames

can be shot using the Basic mode than the Hi mode, as

uncompressed images take up a considerable amount of

memory space (see chart below for details).

While pressing the QUALITY button, rotate

the command dial.

—The ► arrow in the LCD panel points to one of

the fotiowing settings.

BASIC — NORMAL — FINE
