Setting Image Resolution and Quality

As you get to know the digital camera, you can set the image resolution (number of vertical and horizontal
pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on the types of images you want to shoot. These settings

To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Rotate the mode dial to
camera on by pressing the power switch.

press the button.
4. Use the four-way controller (
then press the button to confirm.
5. Follow the step 3 and 4 above to set the [Quality Level].

size, resolution and quality settings and the subject of the image to be
captured.
