Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 31
Changing the image quality
Image quality controls the resolution and compression settings
that will be used to capture images. At higher settings, there
will be greater detail visible in the images, but the file size of
an image will be larger, and thus fewer pictures will fit in the
internal memory or on the memory card.
To change the image quality setting, press the Quality
button until the desired setting appears on the Status LCD. If
Live View is on, the icon also appears in the Image Display.
