Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ, SQ1 or SQ2. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web browser.

The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image.
