Quality of Card Photoshot Pictures
You can choose among 3 picture quality modes for
the Card Photoshot Function.
Maximum recordable number of pictures on the
supplied 8 MB MultiMediaCard
FINE: Approx. 50 pictures
NORMAL: Approx. 100 pictures
ECONOMY: Approx. 200 pictures
³When recording in more than one mode (FINE,
NORMAL, ECONOMY) on the same
MultiMediaCard, the maximum recordable
number differs from the numbers indicated above.
³The maximum recordable numbers are
approximations. When recording intricate pictures
with fine details, the number of recordable still
pictures on the MultiMediaCard decreases due to
their large data volume.
³To be able to record an even larger number of still
pictures, we recommend that you use the 16 MB
MultiMediaCard VW-MMC16E (optional).
³To record pictures in high quality, set [PICTURE
QUALITY] on the [CARD SETUP] Sub-Menu to
[FINE]; to record as many pictures as possible,
set it to [ECONOMY].
³When you select [ECONOMY] for recording, the
playback picture may contain mosaic-like noise
patterns depending on the picture content.
