[. . . ] Because the compression rate is higher than SHQ, file sizes are smaller, so more images can be saved to a card. Like SHQ, resolution can be increased by using 3:2 or the ENLARGE SIZE function. For each resolution, you can choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best setting for your purpose Normal Smaller (printing, Internet pages, etc. ).

TIPS · Resolution The number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer. · Resolution and picture size on a computer screen When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen varies depending on the computer's monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 × 768 resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 × 768 (such as 1280 × 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen. · Compression rate In record modes other than TIFF, image data are compressed. · File format This camera saves images in either TIFF or JPEG format. [. . . ] The files will be opened in the default image viewer of the operating system. If you want to view the image a different size or process it, you will need to open the image with software that supports JPEG or TIFF images files, such as Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop or CAMEDIA Master software. The lamp on the right of the viewfinder or the card access lamp blinks while the image is being copied. Never open the card cover on the camera, load or remove the batteries, or connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the lamp is blinking as the image files may be destroyed.
