The following table explains the Image Quality settings in more detail:

Setting Description

5MP Best Images will be full resolution and have the lowest compression. This setting produces very high quality images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most memory. This setting is recommended if you plan to print images to a size larger than 297 by 420 mm (11 by 17 in).

5MP Images will be full resolution and have medium compression. This setting produces high quality images, but uses less memory than the 5MP Best setting above. This is the default setting and is recommended if you plan to print images up to a size of 297 by 420 mm (11 by 17 in).

3MP Images will be approximately 3MP resolution and have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient setting, recommended if you plan to print images up to a size of 210 by 297 mm (8.5 by 11 in).

1MP Images will be approximately 1MP resolution and have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient setting that produces lower-quality images. This setting is good for images that you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.

VGA Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and have medium compression. This is the most memory- efficient setting, but produces lower-quality images. This setting is good for images that you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.
