Use the Quality setting to select a picture resolution.

1

Turn the Mode dial to Capture

and press Menu.

2

Highlight the Quality menu

, then press Select.

Highlight the Quality setting you want to use.
3.1 MP is the highest resolution, 0.8 MP is
the lowest. See the table below for details.

4

Press Select to accept the change and return
to the Menu screen.

5

This setting remains until you change it.

Higher resolutions produce more detailed images and larger file sizes—
great for photo-quality prints but take up more space on the Picture Card and
may take longer to transmit by e-mail.
Lower resolutions produce less detailed images and smaller file sizes—they
look great on-screen, take up less space on the Picture Card, and transmit
quickly by e-mail.
