Selecting the Image Quality/Size

Digital Camera Functions
You can select the image quality of still images, and the image size of still images and
movies.
Still images are compressed and recorded in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group).
Movies are recorded in Motion JPEG.
The number of still images and maximum recording time of movies that can be recorded
on a memory card vary according to the recording condition. The estimated figures are as
follows:

Depending on the number of images on the memory card, you may not be able to
download images to a computer (Windows: more than 1800 images; Macintosh: more
than 1000 images). In such case, use a card reader.
Connection to a PictBridge compliant printer will not work when the memory card
contains more than 1800 images. For best performance, we recommend to keep the
number of images on the memory card less than 100.
Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer using a
USB cable, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min. in 320 x 240 and
35 min. in 160 x 120.
