Image Size And Quality - Pentax OPTIO S5N Operating Manual

Image Size and Quality

Choose the image size and quality best suited to your purpose.
Higher quality levels and numbers of recorded pixels produce clearer images for
1
printing, but the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total number of
pictures that can be taken.
When you choose high image quality as well as a large image size, it may take
ten seconds or more for the camera to finish recording after shooting.
Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and quality level on the [A
Rec. Mode] menu.
