Note:  
o The image size settings determine the quality and number of photos that can 
be saved and the amount of memory required for each photo. The higher the 
photo quality the more memory it will take. The image size and quality will also 
affect the maximum size you can effectively print your photo. 
o For Image sizes higher than 3M a SD card need to be inserted into the 
camera.  
o Your camera has two HD “7M” and “2M” high definition image sizes.
