Using Digital Imaging Features

Choosing the Resolution

You can choose from four resolutions (or sizes) for photos captured (width by height in pixels) on your HP iPAQ. By using one of the four resolutions, you can choose the photo quality for your snapshots. Higher-quality (high resolution) photos look and print better, especially at greater magnification. However, higher-quality photos are larger in file size and require more storage space. Lower-quality photos require less storage space and less time to load when sending them by e-mail or infrared.

The Photosmart camera displays on the top right side of the screen the estimated number of images remaining at the current resolution and compression settings. For an example, refer to the “Using Compression” section discussed earlier in this chapter.

The four resolutions available are:

■1280x960 (default)

■640x480 pixels

■320x240 pixels

■160x120 pixels
