Easy question! How do i change the settings to make it the most pixels/best pic?

Set your camera to take pictures at the maximum megapixel level. Later, if you need to lower the resolution of your pics for whatever purpose, you can do that in any photo-editing program.

In the menu, you can change the megapixels used and the picture quality to the highest setting.

Press the FUNC/SET button. Use the up/down arrows to select the image size setting (marked with an icon sort of like a mountain sloping down to the left). You can change to Medium 1 (3264x2448), Medium 2 (2592x1944), Medium 3 (1600x1200), and Small (640x480). The Large setting is 4000x3000.

need more info but usually ir means the memory is full . or the memory card is corrupt. i suggest saving all the pics to your computer then try reformatting the memory card. you can usually do this from the camera itself. you will have to go thru the cameras menu and pick delete all pics and format card.
also check what pixel setting you are using. the higer the pixel setting the lass pics the memory will hold.
however lowering the pixel rating also reduce the quality of the pictures. hope this helps .

Go into photo mode and press the right hand button on the top of the frame. That should put you in full screen mode.

The Best solution wud be to buy a card reader writer and transfer the pics using that ...

Are you supposed to use that big Memory Stick? I think the limit is 2GB with this camera. (Sony Cybershot P200)

if taking pics for a web site you want the camera at the lowest reolution possible-1-2 mexapixels to keep file small and easy to view on web-if you took pic already at higher quality only software can downsize and compress pics-600 x 480 pixels is about 1 megapixel

Hi there,

Set the resolution to match the new screen.

In XP, Go to control panel, display, settings tab and change the screen resoution slider. If you have a regular shape screen (not widescreen) choose 1280 by 1024 pixels. If yours is a widescreen, choose 1280 by 768 pixels.

Hi Molly, The 72 ppi figure is merely an arbitrary starting point used by most image editing software. I've known others to use 300 as a default, e.g. Paint Shop Pro last time I looked at it. Why it should have changed I can't tell at this point, unless you've changed your software; but it's not important. The figure is meaningless until you want to *print* your images, and even then it's best to just set print size *without* resampling the image, and let the resolution look after itself until you have a need for very large prints. To see what your camera is capturing, the essential figure you need to be interested in is the images' *pixel dimensions*; and in the case of the CD400 they should be 2272 x 1704 at the camera's full res. setting. (Actually, "resolution" is an unfortunate term, in its popular usage. Resolution really describes how thinly or densely the same pixel count is mapped over the intended physical output size.) Changing the print size *without* resampling the image will cause the resolution figure (72, 300 or whatever else it might be) to change inversely with the print dimensions, but will not change the overall pixel dimensions of 2272 x 1704.
