Otherwise, you will format the SD memory card.

• Formatting the SD memory card also erases the protected images. All data other than

images are also erased. Before formatting the card, make sure that all the images are unnecessary.

• Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time.

• An SD memory card having any problem cannot be properly formatted.

Setting Image Resolution 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, a 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 [ ] and set the mode dial to one of the photography

modes.

2. Press the MENU button.
