Photograph Quality Settings

The number of pictures you can fit on a memory card is determined by photograph quality. (See page 19.)

The camera keeps your last choice when it is turned off.

The camera is set in the "Normal" compression mode at the factory. Changing to "Fine" mode will improve the quality of your pictures (See page 19.), but the number of pictures that fit on a single memory card will be reduced.

FYI

Comparing the SD and MultiMedia Memory Cards

You may use both the SD Memory card and the MultiMediaCard (MMC) with this camera. The SD Memory card is quite fast and has the ability to hold large amounts of data. The MultiMedia Card uses less power so that the batteries last longer.

If you decide to buy a new memory card, the SD Memory card is recommended for its speed and ability to lock and protect your data. (See page 50.)

FLASH CONTROL

You can change the flash setting by pushing the FLASH button and observing the icons on the LCD monitor.

The mode changes each time you press the FLASH button.

Note:

Blurred Shot

When taking pictures in "No Flash" setting or in the "Forced Flash" setting (Slow Synchro), the shutter will be slower than 1/30 sec. at wide angle or 1/60 sec. at telephoto. At such slow speeds in low light, the image may blur from camera motion, therefore, a green light will flash to warn you.
