  • Page 18: Quality

    Quality You can set your camera to take pictures with a Good, Better, Best, and Uncompressed Quality setting. The Quality setting indicates how much the picture is compressed to save space on the memory card. The pictures are captured in a JPEG file format, except for the Uncompressed Quality setting, which captures the picture in an uncompressed TIFF file format.

  • Page 19: Understanding Quality And Resolution

    Understanding Quality and Resolution Keep in mind that with your camera you are generally going to get beautiful digital pictures. But based on two factors, resolution and compression, some pictures will be of a higher quality than others. Instead of film, the camera places your pictures on a memory card. These pictures are made up of pixels.

Do not attempt to disassemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.
  • Page 24 When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and all federal, state, and local regulations. Kodak suggests customers take advantage of any community battery recycling programs that may exist in your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.
