Choosing the Picture Quality
You can change between High and Normal picture quality, depending on how you will
be using the pictures.
High quality means higher resolution—these pictures retain their quality when
enlarged. They take more space so you can fit fewer high quality pictures on the
camera at one time. High quality pictures also take longer to store and download.
Use high quality if you will be printing the picture at a large size.
Normal quality pictures require less data to be stored, so the camera can store
more of them and they load faster than high quality pictures. But the lower
resolution means they won’t look as good if you enlarge them. Use normal quality if
you will be printing the photograph at a small size or if the image will only be viewed
on the screen.
To change the picture quality:
Select the HQ button.
Note: This is a toggle—selecting it changes between High and Normal picture quality.
When High Quality is selected, “HQ” appears in the mode display area on the screen
and on the camera.
