Setting Description Default Resolution This is the number of pixels in each photo. More pixels results in High higher photo quality. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a higher resolution for photos that you want to enlarge. Select a lower resolution for photos that you want to email (so that the photo file size is small). Compression This is the amount each photo is compressed. The compression level is a trade-off between photo quality and storage space: the lower the compression level, the higher the photo quality but the larger the photo file size. Choose from High, Medium, or Low. Select a lower compression level for better quality photos. Select a higher compression level to save space on the memory card.
