Using either the optical viewfinder or the 1.6" TFT color image LCD monitor, you can compose images and then examine them in detail. An auto-flash sensor automatically detects the shooting (lighting) conditions and determines whether the flash should be used. This feature helps ensure that your images turn out right. 8MB internal (built-in) memory lets you capture and store images without the need for an additional memory card. However, you may wish to expand the memory capacity (up to 128MB capacity) by using an external memory card. In addition to still images, you can record short videos using the movie function. Images you have taken can be downloaded to your computer using the USB cable (USB driver required for Win98 and Mac OS 8.6) You can enhance and retouch your images on your computer by using the provided editing software, or image editing software you may already own. You may share your images with your friends via e-mail, in a report, or on a website. DPOF functionality allows you to print your images on a DPOF compatible printer by simply inserting the memory card.

To decrease a value, press the 15 Setting the image resolution and quality Resolution and quality settings determine the pixel size (dimension), image file size, and compression ratio for your images. These settings affect the number of images that can be stored in memory, or on an SD memory card. As you get to know the camera, it is recommended that you try each quality and resolution setting to get an appreciation for the effects that these settings will have on your images. Higher resolution and higher quality images offer the best photographic results but produce large files sizes. Therefore, fewer images will take up more memory space. E High resolution and quality settings are recommended for printed output and situations requiring the finest detail. Lower resolution/quality images take up less memory space and may be quite suitable for sharing images via e-mail, in a report, or on a web page. To change image resolution and quality settings, press the button on top of the camera repeatedly to select the settings that you prefer. As you press this button watch the Status LCD. Resolution & Quality: The camera provides 2 resolution modes and 3 quality modes, which can be changed cyclically by pressing the button. The cyclical order is repeat.
