Setting	Description	Default
Resolution	This is the number of pixels in each photo. More pixels results in	High
	higher photo quality. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a
	higher resolution for photos that you want to enlarge. Select a lower
	resolution for photos that you want to email (so that the photo file
	size is small).
Compression	This is the amount each photo is compressed. The compression level	Medium
	is a trade-off between photo quality and storage space: the lower the
	compression level, the higher the photo quality but the larger the
	photo file size. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a lower
	compression level for better quality photos. Select a higher
	compression level to save space on the memory card.
