Setting Description Default
Resolution This is the number of pixels in each photo. More pixels results in
higher photo quality. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a
higher resolution for photos that you want to enlarge. Select a lower
resolution for photos that you want to email (so that the photo file
size is small). High
Compression This is the amount each photo is compressed. The compression level
is a trade-off between photo quality and storage space: the lower the
compression level, the higher the photo quality but the larger the
photo file size. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a lower
compression level for better quality photos. Select a higher
compression level to save space on the memory card.
