NOTE
Formatting an 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 in memory, or on a memory card. As you get to know the digital video 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, 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 email, in a report, or on a
web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform
these steps below:
1. Turn on the power by pressing and holding the
button.
