Setting 2MP VGA Description Images will be half resolution and have medium quality and compression. This is a memory-efficient setting and is recommended if you plan to print images up to a size of 130 by 180 mm (5 by 7 in). Images will be 640 by 480 (lowest) resolution and have medium compression. This is the most memoryefficient setting, but produces lower quality images. This setting is good for images you want to send via e-mail or post to the Internet. The Image Quality setting affects both the quality of the images and the number of images that can be stored either in the camera's internal memory or on an optional memory card. For example, the 4MP Best setting results in the highest quality images, but consumes more memory space than the next lower setting, 4MP. Likewise, many more still images can be stored in memory at the 2MP or VGA settings than at 4MP; however, these settings result in lower quality images. The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the Image Quality sub-menu screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Capacity on page 131 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in the internal memory in the camera.
