A digital picture is made of numerous dots
called pixels. Although you cannot see the
difference on the camera’s screen, the
more the pixels the finer the picture will be
when it is printed on a large piece of paper
or displayed on a computer monitor. Picture
quality refers to the compression rate when
saving digital pictures.
A
Many pixels (Fine)
B

pictures when printing.

them on a homepage.

Quality
You can increase the number of recordable
pictures without changing the picture size if
quality is set to [
H
].
• The number of pixels that can be selected
differs depending on the aspect ratio. If
you change the aspect ratio, set the
picture size.
• [EZ] is an abbreviation of [Extended
optical Zoom]. This is a function which
further extends the optical zoom ratio. If
you select a picture size with EZ
displayed, the zoom ratio is extended to a
maximum of 6.2× when the digital zoom is
set to [OFF]. (P33)
