Image Quality

NOTE This setting does not apply when recording video clips.

This setting allows you to set the resolution and JPEG compression of the still images you capture with your camera. The Image Quality sub-menu has four settings.

NOTE The resolution portion of all the Image Quality settings except for the VGA setting is represented by a number and MP (Megapixels), such as 3MP or 1MP. The higher the number of Megapixels, the higher the resolution. In the case of the VGA setting, the image will be 640 by 480 pixels (0.31 MP), which is the lowest resolution.
