Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file
size, and compression ratio for your image. These settings affect the number of
images that can be stored in internal memory, or on an SD memory card.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results
but take up more memory space. High resolution/quality settings are recom-
mended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower
resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable
for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution or image quality,
perform the steps below:
1. Turn the mode dial to mode and
power on the camera.
2. Press the button on the rear side of
the camera.
■ The Record menu appears.
3. Select Image size or Quality by using the
/ button.
4. Press the button. Select the image size
or image quality you prefer by using
the / button.
5. Press OK to confirm. To exit the menu
screen, press the button.
