Use this mode when you want to record high quality
images. The number of still images that can be
recorded on a “Memory Stick” becomes less than the
number when recorded in STANDARD. Fine images
are compressed to about 1/4.
STANDARD (STD)
This is the standard image quality. Standard images
are compressed to about 1/10.
Note
In some cases, changing the image quality mode may not affect the image quality,
depending on the types of images you are shooting.
Differences in image quality mode
Recorded images are compressed in JPEG format before being stored into memory. The
memory capacity allocated to each image varies depending on the selected image
quality mode. Details are shown in the table below.
