Setting Image Resol u tion and Quality

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.

-20-

English

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.
