About the resolution and compression settings (see page 102)

The image captured by a digital camera consists of a collection of small
dots. The resolution refers to the number of these dots, and the greater the
number, the higher the image quality. As the resolution increases, the size
of the resulting data also increases, and the number of images that can be
captured decreases. To compensate for this, this digital camera is able to
compress the data. This digital camera uses JPEG compression. If JPEG
compression is used, when the image is played back, an extremely small
portion of it is lost. The higher the compression rate, the more of the origi-
nal image is lost.
Therefore, in the still image and sequential shots shooting modes, this dig-
ital camera also allows you to store image data at extremely low compres-
sion to ensure that a minimum of the original image is lost. This is the
mode. Since the image data is large when the
mode is used, com-
pared to
or
compression, the digital camera requires more time
both to store the data after the shutter release button is pressed and to dis-
play the image in the playback mode.
