• Setting the Image Quality
Picture quality depends on both its resolution and the JPEG file compression that the camera applies when
the picture is taken. Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in a digital picture. Higher resolution
and less compression makes better quality which occupies more memory space. Smaller size pictures and
normal quality are easier to email while larger size and fine quality are better for printing.
Turn on the camera. Set the Capture/Playback selector to Capture mode.

Here are the approximate number of pictures you can expect the camera to hold at each setting:
Resolution 1280 X 960 Super High:
Approximately 20 pictures
Resolution 800 X 600 High:
Approximately 106 pictures
Resolution 640 X 480 Normal:
Approximately 225 pictures
NOTE:
Scene complexity affects a picture’s file size. For example, a picture of trees in autumn has a larger file size than a
picture of blue sky at the same resolution and quality setting. Therefore, the number of pictures that can be taken is for
reference only. The image counting may count one or two, or without counting when taking a picture.
