stupid newbie question but I cant find anywere else
 

On the xh a1 when you go into the menu and I think it is recording setup there is a setting called image quality and you can set it to normal, fine, or super fine. Ive looked in the manual and internet and asked around and cant find any answers. Does anybody know if this will make the quality of my footage better or if it doesnt really do anything. Thanks appreciate your guys help, sorry for the dumb question.

Those settings affect the JPEG compression for still images recorded to a memory card. They have no effect on video.

Happy shooting!
