How to select the right resolution & compression?

Resolution is the measurement of an image in pixels. Since the maximum available resolution of an image is only getting higher, digital cameras use a process known as "Compression" to reduce the size of the image to a manageable size before it is stored. While this dramatically increases the amount of pictures you can store on each memory card, there is a trade off in quality.

Note:

• Low Resolution (800 x 600 pixels), Medium Resolution (800x600-1280x1024 pixels), High Resolution (Above 1280 x 1024 pixels)

• Compression mode yields progressively higher image quality as one switches from "Normal" and "Fine" to the Superfine Mode.
