refers to the number of pixel in a digital picture. Higher resolution and less
compression makes better quality which occupies more memory space.
Smaller size pictures and normal quality are easier to email while larger
size and ne quality are better for printing.
1. Turn on the camera.
2. Set the Mode selector to Capture mode (the Status LED blinks once).
3. Press the Quality button will alter the picture quality setting.
Fine - high resolution: 1600 X 1200 pixel (without compression).
High quality for printing photo at 4’’ X 5’’.

Scene complexity affects a picture’s le size. For example, a picture of

resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can
store on a memory card may vary. The number of pictures on the LCD screen
is for reference only.
