Picture Quality / Size Options (7.5)
Image Size and Quality are adjusted via the Function Menu and are located in the lower corner of the LCD screen. It is possible to set the following compression ratings for images on the Canon PowerShot A85: SuperFine, Fine, and Normal. Image sizes are 2272 x 1704 (large), 1600 x 1200 (medium 1), 1024 x 768(medium 2), and 640 x 480 (small). There is also a mode for printing postcards.
Picture Effects Mode (8.0)
The following Picture Effect settings are available on the Canon PowerShot A85: Off, Vivid, Neutral, Low Sharpening, Sepia, and B&W. Low Sharpening is probably my favorite, as it softens the image so you can take those fuzzy, girl-with-a-rose posed shots. Digital effects can definitely be a fun accessory but when quality is at the forefront of the user’s priorities, all editing and effects should be formulated in off-camera editing software for the best quality results.
