Selecting The Size And Quality Of Still Images - Canon DC10 Instruction Manual

Selecting the Size and Quality of Still
Images
Still images are recorded on the memory card or the disc using the JPEG (Joint
Photographic Experts Group) compression.
You can select the size and quality of still images. As a general rule select a larger image
size for higher quality stills (for example for printing and enlarging); or a smaller image
size if you want to record more images on the memory card or want smaller file sizes (for
example for e-mail attachments or for web pages).
The actual number of still images that can be recorded on a memory card or disc will vary
depending on the subject and the recording conditions. The estimated figures are as
follows:
