This is simply the size of the image data.Page 218 says JPG Fine Large file is 7.1 MB, so this this already compressed to 7.1/46 = 15% of the data size.   There isn't much left, how small would you want it?Normal is 4.4 MB, or 4.4/46 = 9.5% of the data size.If you worry about file size, then choose smaller Medium or Small size instead of Large, but don't reduce Fine.  Quality is what it is all about.  We cannot put the quality back in it.</blockquote>
