Picture Quality / Size Options
There are several quality and size options available on the Nikon Coolpix 7900. For image quality, users can choose from Fine, Normal, and Basic. Image size options include 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. These quality and size options are ample for any consumer and will, depending on the setting, dramatically affect the number of pictures that can be taken (depending on memory capacity). Users are encouraged to determine their space/memory needs and their output. If you want to display your photos on the Internet, then 640 x 480 is more then adequate, although certainly if you plan on projecting them on your big screen HDTV, you’ll want one of the higher settings.

Picture Effects Mode
There are some intelligent inclusions for picture effects (although I recommend making these adjustments with an imaging software program) namely color options including Standard Color, Vivid Color, Black and White, Sepia, and Cyanotype. These features are accessible through the main menu under Color Options. For users without access to imaging software, these are the standard color effects artists and photographers have used to accent their work and it is appropriate that they be included. Users should keep in mind, that once the image is captured with that effect, it’s permanent.
