Setting Image Resolution and Quality
As you get to know the digital camera, you can set the image resolution (number
of vertical and horizontal pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on
the types of images you want to shoot. These settings affect the number of
images that can be stored in memory, or on a memory card.
Higher resolution and higher quality images provide finer detail but cause the
images’ file size to be larger.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Rotate the mode dial to
,
P
,
Av
,
Tv
,
M
or
SCN
and turn your camera on by
pressing the button.
2. Press the
MENU
button, then use
W
or
X
to
select the [Mode1] / [Mode2] / [Mode3] menu.
In
(Auto) Mode, press the
MENU
button to access the menu directly.
3. Use
T
to select [Image Size], then press
the
button.
4. Use
S
or
T
to select the desired setting,
then press the
button to confirm.
5. Follow the step 3 and 4 above to set the
[Quality].
The possible number of shots and recording time depend on the storage size, resolution
and quality settings and the subject of the image to be captured.
You can resize the images later. (Please refer to section in this manual titled “
