Recorded Pixels and Quality Level of Still Pictures1
Getting Started

Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compressionrate) of still pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you
have taken.
Higher quality levels and numbers of pixels produce clearer images, but
the resulting increase in data volume reduces the total number of
pictures that can be taken (stored in the camera’s built-in memory or on
the SD Memory Card).
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture also depends on thequality level, exposure compensation, resolution of the printer and avariety of other factors, so you do not need to select more than therequired number of pixels. As a rough guide, h (2048×1536) isadequate for making postcard-size prints. Refer to the table below for theappropriate settings according to use.

Taking Pictures[About the red-eye phenomenon]
Taking pictures using the flash may cause the subject’s eyes toappear red in the resulting picture. This phenomenon occurs when
the light from the flash is reflected in the subject’s eyes. It can be
reduced by illuminating the area around the subject or moving closer
to the subject and zooming out to a wider angle. Setting the flash
mode to c (Auto + Red-eye) or d (Flash On + Red-eye) is also aneffective way of reducing red eyes.
If the subject’s eyes appear red despite such precautions, they canbe corrected by the red-eye compensation function (p.172).
