Changing the image quality

The camera has three image quality settings: Good, Better, and
Best. The current image quality setting is indicated by one, two, or
three stars on the status LCD. In addition, if the image display is
on,

GOOD

,

BETTER

or

BEST

appears in the status line.

The image quality setting determines the quality of your images
and how many images can be stored in internal memory or on the
CF memory card. Pictures taken with higher image quality take up
more space in memory; pictures taken with lower image quality
take up less space.
