• Setting the Image Size and Quality

Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Picture 

quality  depends  on  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.
