IMAGE SIZE
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 will be more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will
produce higher quality prints.
Image size must be set before the picture is taken. Changes made to image size are
displayed on the data panel and LCD monitor. Image size must be reset manually. See
navigating the auto-recording mode menu section on page 38. In multi-function
recording mode, image size is controlled in the basic section of the multi-function
recording menu (p. 50).
If the image size is changed, the data panel will display the approximate number of
images that can be recorded at that setting on the installed CompactFlash card. One
CompactFlash card can contain images with differing sizes.

RECORDING MODE
This camera has four image quality settings: super fine, fine, standard, and economy.
Always select the desired setting before taking the picture. See navigating the auto-
recording mode menu section on page 38. In multi-function recording mode, image
quality is controlled in the basic section of the multi-function recording menu (p. 50).
Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of
pixels in the image. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression
and the larger the file sizes. If the economical use of the CompactFlash card is
important, use the economy mode. Standard image quality is sufficient for normal
usage. The super-fine mode will produce the highest quality image and the largest
image files. Depending on image size, when capturing super-fine images, a delay of up
to fifty seconds can occur as the image is saved to the CompactFlash card; the
monitors will be blank and the access lamp will glow during that period.
File formats vary with the image quality setting. Super fine images are saved as a TIFF
file. The fine, standard, and economy settings are formatted as a JPEG file. Super fine,
fine, standard, and economy files can be recorded as color or monochrome images (p.
60) in the multi-function recording mode.
If the image quality is changed, the data panel will display the approximate number of
images that can be recorded at that setting on the installed CompactFlash card. One
CompactFlash card can contain images with differing qualities.
