Part III: Going Multimedia with Your Storm
Choosing the picture quality
BlackBerry Storm can capture up to 3.2 megapixels (mp) of resolution. Saving
at this resolution requires a lot of space. You can save at a lower quality and
save some space on your BlackBerry.
Get a big microSD card. Nowadays, even a 32GB microSD card is inexpensive,
and it holds thousands of pictures.
Here are the three resolutions you can choose:
✓ Normal: The default setting. Normal picture quality isn't as smooth or
fine as the other resolution choices but saves the most pictures.
If you're just taking pictures of your friends' faces so you can attach
them as Caller IDs, Normal is appropriate.
✓ Fine: A middle setting between Normal and SuperFine. This is a com-
promise if you're concerned about space and want to capture more
pictures. The best use for this setting is for any electronic viewer; this
option isn't good for printing.
✓ SuperFine: The best quality that your camera can capture. Choose this
setting if you plan on printing the images.
Changing picture quality is a snap. Follow these steps:
1. Press the camera key (the right convenience key on your Storm).
The Camera application opens.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press Options.
The Camera Options screen appears, as shown in Figure 11-3.
3. Touch-press Picture Quality.
4. Touch-press the picture quality you want.
Picture Quality values are Normal, Fine, and SuperFine.
5. Press the menu key and touch-press Save.
The picture quality you've chosen is now active.
