| You'll really get the best photo quality in raw mode. You'll probably prefer to shoot compressed JPEGs, however, so select the quality option that produces the largest file. Most manufacturers put a chart in the camera's manual that lists compression and resolution combinations, with resulting file sizes. For any given resolution, the bigger the file, the better the quality. | |
