IMAGE SIZE AND QUALITY
Changing image size and quality affects the number of pixels
in each image as well as the compression rate. Image quality
and size are set in the auto, scene selection, and manual
recording menus; see page 36 for menu operation.

Size & quality indicator
Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each
image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size.
Choose image size based on the final use of the image -
smaller images are more suitable for web sites whereas
larger sizes produce higher quality prints. Compression
affects the file size and image detail. Normal compression is
sufficient for most uses. Fine makes a higher quality image,
but file sizes are larger.
If image resolution is changed, the frame counter displays
the approximate number of images that can be recorded at
that setting on the installed memory card. If the settings are changed, the frame counter
adjusts accordingly. Because the counter uses approximate file sizes, the actual image
taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one.
The number of images that can be stored on a memory card is determined by the size of
the card and the file size of the images, however no more than 999 images can be
recorded on one memory card. The actual file size is determined by the scene; some
subjects can be compressed further than others.
