NOTE The Pictures remaining: count for still images that is
located at the bottom of the Image Quality screen updates
when you highlight a new setting. For the approximate
number of still images that can be stored in memory when
the camera is set to the different Image Quality settings,
see Memory capacity for still images on page 117.
The following table describes the Image Quality settings in
relation to still images. The default setting is Best. The Image
Quality setting remains set when you turn off the camera.
Icon Setting Description
Good Still images will be 640 by 480 resolution
and have medium compression. This is the
most memory-efficient setting, ideal for still
images that you want to send via e-mail or
post to the Internet.
Better Still images will be full resolution and have
medium compression. This setting produces
high-quality still images and requires less
memory than the Best setting. This is
recommended for printing still images up to
12.7 by 17.8 cm (5 by 7 in).
Best Still images will be full resolution and have
the lowest compression. This setting
produces the highest-quality still images, but
uses the most memory. This is recommended
if you plan to enlarge still images, or print
still images to a size of 18 by 24 cm (8 by
10 in) or larger.
