This camera has 3 image quality modes; "FINE"(fine), "STD." (Standard) and "ECON." (economy).
The image quality is related to the compression ratio of the image. The compression rate is higher in
the order of "FINF" "STD." "ECON.". The higher the compression rate is, the lower the
image quality is. When you want high quality images, select "FINE". However, as the compression
rate is low, the number of the images to be recorded in the CF card is less than that in the "STD." or
"ECON." mode. When you want to record images in the card as much as possible, select "STD." or
"ECON.". However, as the compression rate is high, the image quality is lower than in the "FINE"
mode.
The compression rate, image recording format, image file size and the recordable number of the
image using the CF card of 8 MB in each FINE, STD. and ECON. are as follows.
