The Image Quality setting affects not only the quality of the images, but also the number of images that can be stored either in the internal memory in the camera or on an optional memory card. Images with higher resolution and lower compression will take up more space than images with lower resolution and/or higher compression. For example, the highest pre-defined setting, 4MP , results in high quality images, but consumes more storage space in memory 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 will result in much lower quality images. The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the screen updates when you highlight each pre-defined setting. See Memory Capacity on page 171 for more information about how the Image Quality setting affects the number of images that can be saved in your camera memory. The icon for the new setting (in the previous table) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect until it is changed again, even when you turn the camera off. NOTE When you use digital zoom, the resolution changes as you zoom in. See Digital Zoom on page 40. Custom Image Quality If you select the Custom... option from the Image Quality submenu, the Custom Image Quality sub-menu displays. This submenu allows you to select a custom Image Quality setting, including individually setting the resolution and the compression of the images you capture. In the Custom Image Quality sub-menu, the default Resolution setting is 4MP (full resolution), and the default Compression setting is (medium compression).
