pixels is, the better the image quality
becomes. As the number of recorded
pixels lessen, you will be able to record
more images on a memory card.

Use this image stabilization mode in
dark environments.
Shooting in a windy or unstable
environment (such as a moving
vehicle) may cause blurred images.
