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

Setting Description

6MP Images will be full resolution and have the lowest pre- defined compression. This setting produces very high quality images and uses the most memory. This is recommended if you plan to enlarge images, or print images up to 40.6 by 50.8 cm (16 by 20 in).

6MP Images will be full resolution and have medium compression. This setting produces high quality images, but uses less memory than the 6MP setting above. This is the default setting and is recommended if you plan to enlarge images, or print images up to 27.9 by 35.6 cm (11 by 14 in).

4MP Images will be 4MP (medium) resolution and have medium compression. This setting produces high- quality images, but uses less memory than the 6MP settings above. This setting is recommended for printing images up to 20.3 by 25.4 cm (8 by 10 in).

2MP Images will be 2MP (low) resolution and have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient

setting, recommended for printing images up to 12.7 by 17.8 cm (5 by 7 in).

VGA Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient

setting, but produces the lower quality images. This setting is good for images you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet.
