Setting the image resolution and quality
The resolution and quality settings determine the size and compression ratio of
your images and how many images can be stored in internal memory or on the SD
memory card. The higher resolution and quality produce a large size and less com-
pressed image but take up more space in memory.
Higher resolution and quality are recommended if you want to enlarge images.
Lower resolution and quality take up less memory space, suitable for sharing im-
ages via e-mail or the Internet. To change the image resolution and quality, press
the PICTURE button on top of the camera repeatedly until the settings that you
want appear on the status LCD.
