Manual mode).

Pictures at higher ISO will naturally have more noise than those at lower ISO.

The options of ISO include automatic, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200.

The available ISO values vary on different camera models.

Quality

The quality setting determines how much the camera compresses the photo files. The higher the compression, the smaller the file size will be, but the quality will decrease. The lower the compression, the larger the file size, but the better the quality.

The three levels of compression are:

• Quality: Best
• Quality: Fine
• Quality: Normal

Size

The size setting refers to the image resolution in pixels. A higher image resolution allows you to print that image in larger sizes without degrading the image quality.

The larger the pictures are, the bigger the file sizes are and the less pictures you can store on a memory card.

AgfaPhoto OPTIMA 3

Color

The color setting allows you to add artistic effects directly when taking pictures. You can try different color tones to alter the mood of your pictures. (The Color setting is only available when the camera is in the Manual mode).
