SOURCE: Image Quality decrease

Um ok. first off, chill with the images being described in inches. The DSC-S40 is way too simple to get lost with. You only have 2 options to play with. One is the resolution which you want to be as high as possible unless you have some special reason for it not to be. Two is you have 2 image quality settings to choose from(Fine and Standard). choose "fine" of course for best results. yes the files size will be a bit larger, but you get the best possible image. Remeber, this is considered a cheap camera, so you want the most it can offer.

Now about the file size anomalies. Dont worry about it. Here is the only conclusion I can come up with that sounds logical. .JPG and most "compressed" image types will never be the same size if taken from a camera unless the same exact picture is shot 2 times in a row very fast witout the camera moving. files size on a compressed image depends on the amount of color variations the camera has to render into a file. The more color variations, the more data the .JPG file contains. It is natural for file sizes from a camera to differ. If you set your camera at 4M and take a picture, and then you set it to 3M and try to take the same picture again thinking it will save space, in theory this is true, but remeber how "compressed" images are rendered. You may have had only the slightest difference of light change on the next pitcture you took . This can have a significant impact on the file size, and can result in a lower res image being bigger in file size than the higher res image. Now, if you are talking a huge difference like [email protected] yet 4M gives you 500kb, then you either have it set to "standard" quality, or you are really lost in this stuff.

But anyway, I hope this is plenty of info. And makes plenty of sense to anyone who understands compressed images.

Change camera resolution

Most digital cameras will allow you to select the resolution at which it captures images and/or videos. Some call it "resolution" while some call it "image size" or other similar terms.

The higher the resolution or larger the image size, the larger the file. Many online services restrict the maximum size of image and/or video files they accept. Lowering the resolution or reducing the image size will reduce the size of the files.


Please refer to your camera's documentation. If you still need assistance, please reply to this post and specify the make and model of your camera.

Can not download to YouTube

is the video the right format? check at the end of the video file's name for the three letters. it has to be .avi at the end or else youtube will not accept it.

try a video converter like SUPER and its easy to use.

Need a sharper scan. What's the difference between resolution (DPI) and compression? Need to send a 9-page document with color pix and B&W copy that's clear but doesn't take 20 minutes to...

The dpi (dots per inch) is how detailed the scanner makes the image, higher dpi equals more pixels to describe the image. Compression is a method (there are many kinds) to decrease the graphic file size to a more manageable size for power points, emails etc. I would suggest scanning at a high DPI until you are happy with the image and then try to save it as a compressed jpeg. It would be better to separate the text from the images but I'm not sure of your layout. You can usually view the image in a graphic viewer and save or export with options to decrease the file size.

Virtual Memory is low

To change the size of the virtual memory paging file

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.

1.

Open System in Control Panel.

2.

On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

3.

On the Advanced tab, under Virtual memory, click Change.

4.

Under Drive [Volume Label], click the drive that contains the paging file you want to change.

5.

Under Paging file size for selected drive, click Custom size, and type a new paging file size in megabytes in theInitial size (MB) or Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

If you decrease the size of either the initial or maximum page file settings, you must restart your computer to see the effects of those changes. Increases typically do not require a restart.

Note

Right Click on My computer then select properties OR
•

To open System, click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
•

To have Windows choose the best paging file size, click System managed size.
•

For best performance, do not set the initial size to less than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. Usually, you should leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you might increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.
•

To delete a paging file, set both initial size and maximum size to zero, or click No paging file. Microsoft strongly recommends that you do not disable or delete the paging file.

I"m trying to render a

The File system that you have on your disk may be FAT32 in which case the maximum size of a single file can only be less than 4GB.

May be you are trying to render a file which can take up more than 4 GB size which will not be posible.

And if you want a higher file size then go for NTFS which can allow high file size.
