Setting the Picture Quality

Use the Quality setting to select a picture resolution and compression. Picture resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image; compression is a method of reducing file size by carefully encoding data. The relationship between resolution and compression determines the picture quality.

The camera offers four different resolutions. With the highest resolution (3.1 MP), three different compression settings are available: none, some, and high.

Select a high resolution setting for more detailed images and larger print sizes. Use a lower resolution setting for smaller print sizes, and for conserving space on the Picture Card.

All Quality settings are compressed JPEGS except the uncompressed setting, which is a TIFF. The available Quality settings are:
