Setting the Picture Quality
Use the Quality setting to select a picture resolution.
1 Turn the Mode dial to Capture and press Menu.
2 Highlight the Quality menu , then press Select.
3 Highlight the Quality setting you want to use.
4.0 MP is the highest resolution, 1.0 MP is
the lowest. See the table below for details.

to the Menu screen.
5 Press Menu to exit the Menu screen.
This setting remains until you change it.
Higher resolutions produce more detailed images and larger file sizes—
great for photo-quality prints but take up more space on the COMPACTFLASH
Card and may take longer to transmit by e-mail.
Lower resolutions produce less detailed images and smaller file sizes—they
look great on-screen, take up less space on the card, and transmit quickly by
e-mail.
See page 82 for how many pictures you can store on different size cards.
See page 16 for how to use the 1.0 MP (Burst) setting.
