Description
The highest-quality mode. Images are saved as
uncompressed data, which is the best for printing or
image-processing on a computer. This mode has
different resolutions to choose from, depending on
how it is used.
A high quality mode using the JPEG format.
Because the compression rate is very low, high
quality images can be stored. In addition, you can
increase the resolution with the Enlarge Size
function. This is useful when printing on large paper
such as A3 (11" x 14").
A high quality mode using the JPEG format, with
medium compression. Because the compression
rate is higher than SHQ, file sizes are smaller, so
more images can be saved to a card. Like SHQ,
resolution can be increased by using the Enlarge
Size function.
The most compressed modes. For each one, you
can also choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or
NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best
settings for your purpose (printing, Internet pages,
etc.).
