(4) Setting the Image Quality and Resolution

Users can choose from three image quality and 2 resolution settings, viz:

Image quality setting :	Resolution Setting:
Fine Normal Basic	Full Resolution	Half Resolution
	(SXGA:1280Pixels x	(VGA:640Pixels x
	1024Pixels)	480Pixels)
To set the Image quality and resolution, press the RESOLUTION & QUALITY button(			)until the desired setting is indicated.

The number of images that can be stored

The number of images (approximate) that can be stored in the memory card at the current image quality and resolution is reflected on the LCD panel. Varying the image quality and resolution settings will affect the number of storable images. The following shows the approximate number of storable images based on 8MB of available internal memory (when the camera is first turned on), as the image quality and resolution is varied.

Resolution	Quality	Icon on Status LCD	Initial Estimated Storage with 8MB Memory
SXGA:1280*1024	Fine		16
SXGA:1280*1024	Normal		30
SXGA:1280*1024	Basic		46
VGA:640*480	Fine		50
VGA:640*480	Normal		96
VGA:640*480	Basic		128

Notes:

•The number of recordable images also varies with the subject and the capacity of the memory card.

•The number of remaining images that can be recorded, shown on the Status LCD, will decrease by 1 every time you take a new shot. If, however, the file size is too minimal, the number will remain the same after the shot is taken. By the same token, the number will decrease by more than 1 if the file size is too large.
