Adjusting image quality and exposure Chapter 6 Record mode Selecting record modes Choose the best record mode for your purposes (printing, editing on a computer, web-site editing, etc.). To see how large SmartMedia memory capacity is under various conditions (such as different resolutions, compressions, or file formats), refer to the table on page 103. The numbers in the table are approximate. Record mode Description Quality File size TIFF The highest-quality mode. Images are saved as uncompressed data, which is the best for printing or image-processing on a computer. This mode has different resolutions to choose from, depending on how it is used. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders- almost the same image size used by photo labs. More clear Larger SHQ A high quality mode using the JPEG format. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality images can be stored. Selecting 3:2 lets you print the entire image without losing its borders- almost the same image size used by photo labs. The Enlarge Size function is useful when printing on large-format paper such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36 cm). HQ A high quality mode using the JPEG format, with medium compression. 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. SQ1 SQ2 The most compressed modes. For each one, you can also choose HIGH (to reduce noise) or NORMAL (to save more images). Select the best settings for your purpose (printing, Internet pages, etc.). Normal Smaller 102
