NOTE
To format the internal memory, do not insert an SD card into the camera. Otherwise, you will
format the SD card.
Formatting the SD 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 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, few images will take up a lot of memory space.
