Tips before you start taking pictures Record mode You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies. Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for each record mode and the number of storable still pictures/movie recording time, see the tables on P. 28 to 30. 2 Still picture record modes Still pictures (other than those in raw data format) are recorded in JPEG format. Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of your pictures. Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. Pictures with more pixels are denser and clearer but require more space (larger file size), thus decreasing the number of pictures that can be saved. Though a high compression rate results in a small file size, this also produces a grainy look.
