Photography –Selecting Particular Effects
Changing Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for
your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in the memory or on an SD
memory card. As you get to know your camera, we recommend that you try each quality and resolution setting
to appreciate the effects they will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results
but produce large files sizes. Therefore, fewer images will take up more memory
space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and
situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up
less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in
a report or on a web page.
To change image resolution and quality settings:
1. Rotate the mode dial to one of [ A ] Auto mode, [ M ] Manual mode, [ Av ]
Aperture Priority mode, [ Tv ] Shutter Speed Priority mode, [ SCENE ] Scene
mode or [ P ] Program mode.
2. Power on your camera.
3. Press the [ ] menu button.
4. Select IMAGE SIZE or IMAGE QUALITY by using the / buttons, then press the button.
5. Change the settings with the / buttons and press the button again to confirm.
6. To exit from the menu mode, press the [ ] menu button.
7. Compose your picture.
8. Press the shutter button.
