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.

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

Here are some important notes about the image quality setting:

￿You can use different image quality settings for different images.

￿The camera retains the current image quality setting until you change it, even if you turn the camera off.

￿Because image quality affects the number of images that can be stored on a CF memory card, the number of available images (shown on the status LCD) changes as you change the image quality.
