Understanding Quality and Resolution
Keep in mind that with your camera you are generally going to get beautiful
digital pictures. But based on two factors, resolution and compression, some
pictures will be of a higher quality than others.
Instead of film, the camera places your pictures on a memory card. These
pictures are made up of pixels. The more pixels you have (or the better the
resolution) the more space you use on the memory card.
To save space, you can compress each picture. When a picture is compressed,
some color and detail information is discarded. More compression means a lower
quality picture. Less compression means a better quality picture.
Together, compression (or quality) and resolution dictate how many pictures you
can fit on your memory card.
If the quality of your pictures is most important, use the Uncompressed
(no compression) or Best (little compression) Quality setting and High
resolution. You may want to do this if you are printing your pictures on a
high-quality printer.
If space on your memory card is most important, use the Good or Better
Quality setting (which results in more compression) and Standard
resolution. You may want to do this if you are using your pictures on a
Web page.
Remember that resolution and quality are two different things. Resolution is the
number of pixels in the picture. Quality is how much you compress them.
