Hi Kate,
To lower the image resolution or use a heavier compression mode, do the following:
While in shooting mode...
1. Press the FUNC button. This should bring up the usual menu of settings.
2. Use the down button on the four-way control to select one of the bottom two options.
3. The bottommost option is for resolution. "L" is the highest resolution, 7.1MP. You can step down from there all the way to "S", which is 640x480 pixels (aka VGA). The lower the resolution, the smaller the image file and the more pictures you can fit on your memory card.
4. The option second from the bottom is for compression level. The lower the compression, the smoother and sharper the image but the larger the image file. "S" (for "superfine") is the lowest level of compression, and you can step all the way down to "Normal", which is represented by a staircase-like icon.
Hope this helps!
