The following table explains the Image Quality settings in
more detail:
Setting Description
5MP Best
Images will be full resolution and have the lowest
compression. This setting produces very high quality
images, with greater color accuracy, but uses the most
memory. This setting is recommended if you plan to
print images to a size larger than 297 by 420 mm
(11 by 17 in).
5MP Images will be full resolution and have medium
compression. This setting produces high quality
images, but uses less memory than the 5MP Best
setting above. This is the default setting and is
recommended if you plan to print images up to a size
of 297 by 420 mm (11 by 17 in).
3MP Images will be approximately 3MP resolution and
have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient
setting, recommended if you plan to print images up
to a size of 210 by 297 mm (8.5 by 11 in).
1MP Images will be approximately 1MP resolution and
have medium compression. This is a memory-efficient
setting that produces lower-quality images. This
setting is good for images that you want to send via
e-mail or post to the Internet.
VGA
Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and
have medium compression. This is the most memory-
efficient setting, but produces lower-quality images.
This setting is good for images that you want to send
via e-mail or post to the Internet.
