7. Using the Camera’s Menus (cont.)
What the important menus do:
File Menu
Image Size: Sets the size of the image. 640x480 is around ¾ths of most computer screens. The larger the size of the image, the fewer images you can store on disk. If you plan on printing the image, it is a good idea to use the highest image size (1472x1104).
Disk Tool: Use “Format” to erase a disk.
Camera Menu
Flash Level: Sets the brightness of the flash.
