Setting Description

Best

This setting produces the highest-quality
images, but uses the most memory. This is
recommended if you plan to enlarge
images, or print images to a size larger than
18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10 in).

Better

This setting produces high-quality images
and requires less memory than the

Best

setting. This is recommended for printing
images up to 18 by 24 cm (or 8 by 10 in).

Good

This is the most memory-efficient setting,
ideal for images that you want to e-mail or
post to the Internet.
