Compression rate and picture quality
The quality of the picture depends on the compression rate. Images taken in
a low compression record mode are clearer than pictures taken in standard
compression record mode. However, lower compression makes the file size
larger, reducing the number of pictures that can be stored on the card.

Resolution
This refers to the number of pixels (vertical × horizontal) used when saving a
picture. If the picture will be printed, higher resolution (larger number of
pixels) is recommended so that the picture will be clearer. However, higher
resolution pictures make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number
of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer's monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken in 1024 × 768 resolution is the same size as the
screen if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768.
However, if the monitor setting is greater than 1024 × 768 (such as
1280 × 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
