HP M417, M517 manual

The Image Quality setting not only affects the quality of the images but, as a result, also the number of images that can be stored either in the internal memory in the camera or on an optional memory card. For example, the 5MP Best setting results in the highest quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the next lower setting, 5MP. Likewise, many more still images can be stored in memory at the 1MP or VGA settings than at 5MP; however, these settings will result in lower-quality images.

The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Capacity on page 169 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in the internal memory in the camera.

The Image Quality setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.

NOTE: This setting does not apply when recording video clips.

NOTE: When you use digital zoom, the resolution reduces as you zoom in. See Using Digital Zoom on page 38.
