Digital camera image size

 Crashzone image size setting on digital camera

With most digital point-and-shoot cameras, you can actually choose a lower resolution than the camera’s advertised maximum, which is where it’s set when you take it out of the box. You do this by entering the shooting menu and selecting the “Image Size” or “Resolution” option. When you do that, you’ll see a series of number pairs such as these:

* 3648 x 2736 or 10 megapixel ( 1.1 MB to 2.2 MB approx)
* 3264 x 2448 or 8 megapixel ( 970 KB to 1.9 MB approx )
* 2048 x 1536  or 3.1 megapixel ( 500 KB to 1 MB approx )
* 1600 x 1200 or 1.9 megapixel ( 250 KB to 700KB approx )
* 1280 x 960 or 1.2 megapixel ( 240 KB to 490 KB approx )
* 1024 x 768 or 0.8 megapixel ( 170 KB to 350 KB approx )
* 640 x 480 or VGA ( 75 KB to 150 KB approx )   - ORM, PNET, ARNIE setting

Setting a lower resolution level creates a smaller-sized picture file. When you adjust the resolution downward, you’ll see the little number on the viewing screen and/or LCD panel that tells you how many more pictures you can fit on the card go up and up. Set 640 x 480, and you’ll be able to fit hundreds if not thousands of pictures on a decent-sized memory card.

When emailing images a lower/lowest setting on your camera is always best this will allow you send  images quickly and make it easier for your customer to download and store the images you send to them.

For more information or help with setting up your camera please contact support@crashzone.com.au or phone 1300 721 090
