The difference between high, medium, and standard quality |
Using the high quality mode, the image quality is good, but the number of recorded images is reduced |
With some digital cameras, you have the choice of using one of three image quality settings; high, medium, and standard. |
In general, the high quality mode provides the best performance of the camera; it has the highest photo resolution and its images turn out the best. |
The number of pixels used in the standard mode is less than that used in the medium mode. As a result, its data and memory requirements are less. This means that the number of photos that this mode can record is greater. |
If you want to print an image on large-size paper, the quality will be better if shot in the high quality mode. If the picture is to be viewed on a TV monitor, the standard mode is usually adequate. Select the mode that matches your requirements. |
The number of shots that can be recorded depends on the size of the camera's memory and the quality setting. Higher quality shots require more memory, and therefore the total number of shots will be reduced. Some cameras allow you to add additional memory. |
Using the standard mode, the image quality is lowered, but the number of recorded images is increased |
