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 in memory, or on an SD
memory card.  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 files
sizes.  Therefore, fewer images will take up more 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 and quality settings:
1. Set the mode dial to the 

 mode or the 

 mode.

2. Press the 

 button.

3. Move to IMAGE SIZE or QUALITY with the   or   button, and press  the   button.
4. Change the settings with the   or   button and then press the 

 button.

5. Press the 

 button again to exit from the menu mode.

6. Compose your image.
7. Press the shutter button.
