Setting the Picture Resolution and Quality

Two different elements combine to determine the overall quality of the pictures that you take.

The first is resolution. This digital camera can take pictures at two different resolutions: 1792x1200 pixels and 896x600 pixels.

The second element is the amount of compression applied to captured images. This camera can capture at three types of

compression settings:      high compression,           medium compression and                low compression.

The higher the resolution, the higher the image quality will be. The lower the compression, the higher the image quality will be.

Higher quality images, however, have larger image file sizes, and therefore, fewer of them can be stored on the camera at one

time.

Picture resolution and quality is set using the Resolution/Quality Button. This button is active only in RECORD mode. The

current resolution and quality settings are displayed in the Status LCD. Each time the Resolution/Quality button is pressed,

the next lower resolution/quality setting is selected, in a fixed sequence. There are six combination of resolution and quality

settings which are given in the following table:
