Pixels only goes to 640X480 - Videoseven V7 E17PS 17" LCD Monitor

There is no 500 pixel size. The smallest is a 640x480 setting, which is 307,200 pixels.

Hi, the Digimax 35 has a resolution of 640x480 pixels. That is 0,3 megapixel.

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.

Well, you can't. The best you can do in a photo-editing program such as Photoshop Elements, is to crop the picture to square dimensions.

just replace the card! your riding on a very old one you can find replacement of that age for like 5 dollars good luck!

Download the user manual HERE and it will tell you exactly how to change the setting.
Is an easy fix when you know it

depending on the cameras largest pixel setting, which will either be 320x240 or 640x480, that is in real terms the size of a postage stamp in pixels. When saving 640x480, this is roughly the size for posting on the web, but if you need to make it larger you need to use a third party software similair to Paint Shop or Adobe to resize the actual pixels of the photo to 50% more for example by means of 'smart sizing'.

Still image (JPEG):2880x2160 (interpolated), 2048x1536, 1600x1200, 640x480 Movie (Motion JPEG (MOV)): 320x240, 160x120

This camera is equipped with the TFT micro display which has about four times the resolving power (number of pixels) of past models. As a useful mode, it has "Quality mode" of 640x480 pixels (30fps) and "Motion mode" of 640x480 pixels (60fps). Quality mode: The high resolving power is the most important. The detail parts can be recognized, and it is helpful when the focus is checked. Difficult focusing on the past models can be easy without enlarging. Motion mode: It is for recording the moving subject. The same number of resolving power is displayed as the quality mode. However, as the pixels are interpolated from 640x240 to 640x480 in Motion mode, the image in the Quality mode looks better.
