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 memory, or on an SD

memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution

setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings 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 /

button, then press the button.

5. Change the settings with the / button and press again the

button to confirm.

6. To exit from the menu mode, press again the [ ] menu button.

7. Compose your picture.

8. Press the shutter button.
