Setting the image quality

The resolution and compression ratio settings determine the image quality. Set these settings according to the image quality you desire.

Setting the resolution

Use the procedure given below to set the image resolution. If the resolution is increased (larger number of pixels per image), the image quality will improve, but the remaining number of images that can be taken will decrease. In the video clip shooting mode, if the resolution is decreased, the length of time possible for the video clip will increase, but the size of the playback image will decrease. It is therefore important to select the resolution according to the desired image quality and purpose.
