Tips on taking good photographs

Picture quality

Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has several picture quality modes. Use the highest setting to make sure that the camera produces the best picture quality available. Note however, that better picture quality requires more storage space.

See "Still image camera settings", p. 86.
