Changing the image quality
Image quality controls the resolution and compression settings that will be used to capture images. At higher settings, there will be greater detail visible in the images, but the file size of an image will be larger, and thus fewer pictures will fit in the internal memory or on the memory card.
1In the Capture menu, select Image Quality.
2In the Image Quality menu, use
the buttons to highlight one of the quality settings. At the bottom of the Image Display is a Pictures Remaining count which shows how the number of remaining pictures is affected by each quality setting.
3Press OK to save the setting and return to Live View.
