Adjusting the Camera Settings

6.Use the 4-way arrow button to select the desired setting.

As you decide which settings to use, remember that there is a trade-off between resolution and compression. Higher resolution photos provide better quality, but if you use high resolution and high compression, some of the photo’s detail will be lost.

Some combinations of settings correspond to the camera’s standard settings indicated by the photo quality diamonds on the status LCD. If you choose to use combinations of settings that do not correspond to the camera’s standard photo quality settings, you will see no photo quality diamonds on the status LCD. This just means that you are using a custom photo quality setting.

Tip: If you aren’t sure which settings to select, press the Default button (left soft key).

7.Press the Exit button (right soft key) twice to save your settings and exit the menus.
