Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Capture
SET:Adj.MENU:Exit
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size,
and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images
that can be stored. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try
each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these
settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but
produce large file sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended 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 these steps below:
1. Slide the mode switch to [ ] or [ ].
2. Press the MENU button.
J [Capture] menu is displayed.
3. Select [Size] with the S / T buttons, and
