Changing the image quality

The camera has three image quality settings: Good, Better, and Best. The current quality setting is displayed on the Status LCD.

To change the image quality setting, press the Quality button until the desired setting appears on the Status LCD.

The following table identifies the approximate number of pictures that you can take at each setting based on internal memory or with a 16 MB memory card (purchased separately).
