Theimage Quality setting affects not only the quality of the
images, but also the number of images that can be stored
either in the internal memory in the camera or on an optional
memory card. Images with higher resolution and lower
compression will take up more space than images with lower
resolution and/or higher compression. For example, the
highest pre-defined setting, 4MP ***, results in high quality
images, but consumes more storage space in memory than the
next lower setting, 4MP **. Likewise, many more still images
can be stored in memory at the 2MP ** or VGA ** settings
than at 4MP **; however, these settings will result in much
lower quality images.
The?idures remaining count at the bottom of the screen
updates when you highlight each pre-defined setting. See
Memory _pacity on page 171 for more information about
how the _mage Quali_y setting affects the number of images
that can be saved in your camera memory.
The icon for the new setting (in the previous table) will appear
in the LiveView screen. The new setting remains in effect until it
is changed again, even when you turn the camera off.
NOTE When you use digital zoom, the resolution changes as
you zoom in. See Digital Zoom on page 40.
