Compression and image quality
The quality of the image depends on the compression. Images taken in a low
compression record mode are clearer than images taken in standard
compression record mode. However, lower compression makes the file size
larger, reducing the number of images that can be stored on the card.
Resolution
This refers to the number of pixels (vertical × horizontal) used when saving
an image. If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers)
are recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher
resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number of
pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken in 1024 × 768 resolution is the same size as the
screen if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768.
However, if the monitor setting is greater than 1024 × 768 (such as
1280 × 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
