Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), i mage file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of i mages that can be stored. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you t ry 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 off er the best photo g r a phic results but produce large file sizes. Therefore, a few images wi l l take up a lot of mem ory 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 reso lution or image quality, perform these steps below :
