However, you can choose to force the camera to use an exposure setting that is higher or lower than the calculated Automatic value in half f/stop increments (decrements). These settings are indicated as AUTO+2.0 to

Fine – 640x480 Resolution. This provides the best quality resolution. Economy – 320x240 Resolution. This provides for the smallest possible file. Zoom X2 – 320x240 Center of frame.

Corrupted image files may consume internal memory storage which affect the actual picture storage. You may format the memory ( Please see FORMAT at page 15 ) to destroy all picture, movie, sound files and corrupted data.
JPEG
Images are compressed with a standard "Baseline" JPEG algorithm. The algorithm can be adjusted to compress more or less. Higher settings result in higher quality (less JPEG artifacts) and larger files. Settings can range from 40 to 90 where 90 is the highest quality.
