Before shooting, choose an image mode according to how you plan to use the picture. Option Size (pixels) Description Highest quality, suitable for enlargements or high-quality prints. The compression ratio is approximately 1:4.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu C Number of Exposures Remaining The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory and on a 256 MB memory card.

In addition, this number may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the same.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu B White Balance The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.
Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu Preset Manual Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). 1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. 2 Use the multi selector to choose b Preset manual in the White balance menu, and press k.
