Changing the record mode TIPS • Resolution The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image will be clearer.

Clear large-sized printed images require millions of pixels.
Varying the image brightness (Exposure compensation) In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.

Note • Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the subject are extremely bright or dark.
Adjusting the White balance Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance, when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each.
