Picture Quality / Size Options
Seven different image size settings give users plenty of choice: there are settings for 8, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0.7, and 0.3 megapixel images in JPEG format. There are three settings for image quality: three star, two star, and one star, much like the Kodak system on its C-series point-and-shoots (though Kodak uses a bit of clever marketing and rates their images at five, four, and three stars). There’s no option for saving RAW images.

Picture Effects Mode
A number of digital filters can be applied to images, ranging from color effects (such as black and white, black & white+green) to the usual suspects of sepia and soft. These work, but software tends to do a better job. It’s usually more effective to take the image straight and process it later on a PC.
