Higher resolution and higher quality pictures offer the best
photographic quality but produce larger image file sizes. Because of
this, fewer pictures fit on a memory card. Use high resolution and
high quality settings for pictures that you plan to print and for
situations that require the finest detail.
Lower resolution and lower quality pictures take up less memory
space and may be quite suitable for sharing through e-mail, in a
report, or on a Web page.
