Setting Image Resolution and Quality

Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file
size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number
of images that can be stored on a memory card. As you get to know the camera,
it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an
appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images.

Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results
but produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory
space.

High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and
situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up
less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in
a report, or on a web page.

To change image resolution or image quality,

perform these steps below:
1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] or [ ].
2. Press the MENU button.
