Olympus Stylus 710

Picture Quality / Size Options
Resolution can be adjusted on the 710 in eight different parameters – a good number for a camera of any class. While it’s fine to offer such variety, we wonder if anyone ever actually uses so many sizes, especially with the ability of programs such as Photoshop to resize pictures into just about any size. Resolution adjustments on the 710 are as follows: SHQ/HQ at 3072 x 2304 pixels, SQ1 at 2569 x 1920, another SQ1 at 2304 x 1728, still another SQ1 at 2048 x 1536, SQ2 at 1600 x 1200, another SQ2 at 1280 x 960, a third SQ2 at 1024 x 768, and a final SQ2 at 640 x 480.

Picture Effects Mode
Automatic Pixel Mapping (APM) is available in the menu, and there are several playback edit features for digital stills and movies. For stills, there are black & white and sepia, with adjustment of brightness and saturation. Users can add frames and titles. For movies, there’s a frame index effect.
