Changing the image quality

The camera has three image quality settings: Good, Better, and Best. The current image quality setting is indicated by one, two, or three stars on the status LCD. In addition, if the image display is on, GOOD, BETTER or BEST appears in the status line.

The image quality setting determines the quality of your images and how many images can be stored in internal memory or on the CF memory card. Pictures taken with higher image quality take up more space in memory; pictures taken with lower image quality take up less space.
