Changing the image quality

The camera has three image quality settings:

Good

Better

, and

Best

. You can view the current quality setting, as well as the

number of pictures that can be taken, on the image display.
This setting determines the quality of the images and how
many images can be stored in internal memory or on the
memory card. Higher quality images take up more space in
memory. The following table identifies the approximate number
of pictures that you can take at each setting based on internal
memory or a 16 MB memory card with digital zoom off.
