Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips
The Image Quality setting affects both the quality of the
images and the number of images that can be stored either
in the camera’s internal memory or on an optional memory
card. For example, the 4MP Best setting results in the highest
quality images, but consumes more memory space than the
next lower setting, 4MP. Likewise, many more still images can
be stored in memory at the 2MP or VGA settings than at
4MP; however, these settings result in lower quality images.
The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image
Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each
setting. See Memory Capacity on page 131 for more
information about how the Image Quality setting affects the
number of images that can be saved in the internal memory
in the camera.
2MP Images will be half resolution and have medium
quality and compression. This is a memory-efficient
setting and is recommended if you plan to print
images up to a size of 130 by 180 mm (5 by 7 in).
VGA Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and
have medium compression. This is the most memory-
efficient setting, but produces lower quality images.
This setting is good for images you want to send via
e-mail or post to the Internet.
