HP M23 manual Taking Pictures and Recording Video Clips

Setting Description

2MP Images will be half resolution and have medium quality and compression. This is a memory-efficient setting and is recommended if you plan to print images up to a size of 130 by 180 mm (5 by 7 in).

VGA Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and have medium compression. This is the most memory- efficient setting, but produces lower quality images. This setting is good for images you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.

The Image Quality setting affects both the quality of the images and the number of images that can be stored either in the camera’s internal memory or on an optional memory card. For example, the 4MP Best setting results in the highest quality images, but consumes more memory space than the next lower setting, 4MP. Likewise, many more still images can be stored in memory at the 2MP or VGA settings than at 4MP; however, these settings result in lower quality images.

The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Capacity on page 172 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in the internal memory in the camera.

The Image Quality setting will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.

NOTE: When you use digital zoom, the resolution reduces as you zoom in. See Using Digital Zoom on page 39.

NOTE: Image Quality settings do not apply when recording video clips.
