Resolution – Image size and compression
Image size and the compression rate are set with the resolution option in the recording menu. See
navigating the recording menu section on page 35.
Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the
larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image – smaller images are
more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes produce higher quality prints.
Compression affects the file size and image detail. Normal compression is sufficient for most uses.
Fine makes higher quality image, but file sizes are larger.
