    Solution

      On this camera, you can select [ : Fine ] or [ : Super Fine ] for the compression ratio regardless of the recording pixel setting (size).
      REFERENCE
      [ ] and [ ] indicate different levels of image quality depending on the extent of compression. At the same size (number of pixels), [ ] offers higher image quality. Although [ ] images have slightly lower image quality, more fit on a memory card.

      • If the compression ratio cannot be changed, please refer to the procedures below.

      1. Press the power button to turn the camera on.

      2. Set the shooting mode to [ ], [ ], [ ], [ ], or [ ] mode.


      IMPORTANT
      • The compression ratio cannot be set to [ ] in modes other than those indicated in the image above. In [ ] mode, the selectable options vary depending on the assigned shooting mode.

      3. Press the <> button to display the menu screen, and then press the <><> buttons to choose [Image quality] ().





      4. Press the <><> buttons to choose one of the options with [ ] on the bottom of the screen to select it, and then press the <> button.





      5. The shooting screen reappears.
      If the [ ] icon appears at the top of the screen, the setting is complete.
