NOTE The Resolution setting affects the number of images that
can be saved on your memory card. Fewer images will be
saved on the memory card at the default, higher
Resolution setting of 5MP - 2608 x 1952 than at the lower
setting of 1MP - 1296 x 976. See Memory card capacity
on page 110.
Compression
If you press OK when the
Compression option is highlighted in
the Capture menu, the Compression
sub-menu displays. This sub-menu
allows you to set how much JPEG
compression your images will have.
The following table describes the
Compression settings. The default setting is Better. The
Compression setting remains set when you turn the camera off.
Icon Setting Description
Best This setting produces the highest-quality
images, but uses the most memory. This is
recommended if you plan to enlarge
images, or print images to a size larger than
18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10 in).
Better This setting produces high-quality images
and requires less memory than the Best
setting. This is recommended for printing
images up to 18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10 in).
Good This is the most memory-efficient setting,
ideal for images that you want to e-mail or
post to the Internet.
