The Image Quality settings (except for VGA) identify both resolution (for example, 6MP) and compression (for example, ). The higher the number of Megapixels, the higher the resolution; and the higher the number of stars, the lower the compression and the higher the image quality. In the case of the VGA setting, the image will be 640 by 480 pixels (0.31 MP), which is the lowest resolution, appropriate for e-mailing or viewing on-screen.

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 207 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 will appear in the Live View screen. Except in My Mode (page 55), Image Quality remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.

NOTE: Image Quality settings do not apply when recording video clips.
