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 106. The numbers in the table are approximate. Record mode TIFF Description 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. Because the compression rate is very low, high quality images can be stored. In addition, you can increase the resolution with the Enlarge Size function. This is useful when printing on large paper such as A3 (11" x 14"/28 cm x 36 cm). 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 the Enlarge Size function. 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. ).
