Setting Description
5MP Best Images will be full resolution and have the lowest
compression. This setting produces very high quality
images and uses the most memory. This setting is
recommended if you plan to print images up to 297
by 420 mm (11 by 17 in).
5MP Images will be full resolution and have medium
compression. This setting produces high quality
images, but uses less memory than the 5MP Best
setting above. This is the default setting and is
recommended if you plan to print images up to a size
of 210 by 297 mm (8.5 by 11 in).
3MP Images will be medium 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.
