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 5MP Best setting results in the highest
quality images, but consumes more memory space than the
next lower setting, 5MP. Likewise, many more still images
can be stored in memory at the 3MP, 1MP or VGA settings
than at 5MP; 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.
1MP Images will be approximately 1megapixel resolution
and have medium compression. This is a memory-
efficient setting that produces lower-quality images.
This setting is good for snapshot prints.
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.
