Setting Image Resolution and Quality
Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio
for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored. As you get to know the
camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the
effects that these settings will have on your images.
Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results, but produce large file
sizes. Therefore, few images will take up a lot of memory space.
High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest
detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing
images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page.
To change image resolution or image quality, perform these steps below:
1. Turn on your digital video camera.
2. Press the MODE button continuously until the Capture or Video
Mode appears.
3. Press the MENU button.
the [CAPTURE MENU] or [MOVIE MENU] screen is displayed.
4. Select [SIZE] with the zoom lever, and press the button to view
the resolution choices.
5. Select the desired resolution with the zoom lever, and press the
button to confirm.
6. Select [QUALITY] with the zoom lever, and press the button to
view the quality choices.
7. Select the desired quality with the zoom lever, and press the
button to confirm.
The possible number of shots and recording time depend on the storage size, resolution and quality settings and
the subject of the image to be captured.
