Normal Use when no special effect is needed. Ideal for everyday pictures.
Sharp
Increases contrast on the edges of the picture. Ideal when you want to improve the clarity of a
picture, or if you later may want to crop or cut out specific areas in the picture.
Soft
Softens the edges of the picture, creating a “soft focus” effect.
• Setting Image Size
Picture quality depends on both its resolution and the JPEG file compression that the camera applies when
the picture is taken. Higher resolution and less compression make better quality which occupies more
memory space. Smaller size pictures with normal quality are easier to email while larger size with fine
quality are better for printing.
Set the Capture/Playback selector to Capture mode. Open the LCD panel, then turn on the camera. Use the
Image size setting to select a picture resolution.

Here are the approximate numbers of pictures you can expect the camera to hold at each setting based on
the 8MB internal memory.
High
: 1600X1200; approximately 20 pictures
Middle
: 1280X960; approximately 30 pictures
Low
: 640X480; approximately 98 pictures
Note
Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, the file size of a picture with trees in autumn is larger than that of the blue sky at
the same resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures you can store in the SD card may vary. The number of pictures on the
LCD screen is for reference only.
