Did you know that when viewing images in the camera, you can press the button on top of the camera to rotate the picture? I forgot which button it was since I'm at work and do not have my Uzi handy, but of the top buttons, I believe it is the button below the Macro button. It is the middle one I know, but either way, those three buttons let you rotate the picture as you want. It's pretty easy then having to rotate the pictures AFTER you download them on your PC ya know?

Nice feature, BUT as far as I know, rotating pictures in the camera causes second JPG compression of the picture = loss of quality and details !

Another tip:

You can also zoom in on the images with the zoom button and use the arrow buttons to adjust what you view. Press the zoom button back to zoom; it will do it multiple times, and press it forward to get thumbnails of your images, than you can choose which one to view.

You can use the Electronic Viewfinder to see the pictures on the card.
This comes in handy when bright sun prevents viewing them on the rear LCD.

When you're in PLAY mode and the image is on the rear LCD , just press the display button (the recessed one one the back) and the image can now be seen in the EFV. Not as good as the rear LCD but you can get a good idea if the image is a keeper or not.

You can also get quick access to the PLAY mode by "double pressing" (like a mouse double click) the display button. To return to RECORD mode, slightly press the shutter.

This saves wear and tear on the mode dial as I've heard of few that have broken off.

You must have a magic button on your camera. I just took two photos of the same thing, then I rotated one. That worked fine. Then I removed the card, put it in my card reader and downloaded it into my PC and both downloaded images are the same.

I believe that Rotation in the camera is for viewing only, not permanent..

You mean it was not rotated when you DLed it? Weird, mine has worked fine. Maybe after you change the rotation, take the camera back in to shooting mode, maybe that signals it to save the change? I dunno.

Maybe it has to do with the firmware version? I just bought my camera about 4 months ago, not sure what version it is, but I'm sure it's quite new?

I don't understand the "only 1200x1200" part. That's plenty if it's capable of photo quality prints.

If you don't see a difference between HQ and SHQ on your printer, you might want to check into a new printer. (Epson Photo series or Canon).

Take some HQs and SHQs of several different scenes (close ups, wide angle, landscapes, etc) and have them printed at Walmart or one of the other online services to get an idea of what a photo quality inkjet can do.

From my personal experiences, I now only shoot SHQ. I was getting upredictable results (depended on the subject type of scene (usually wider angle shots)).

Memory cards are now dirt cheap that I see no reason to (potentially) compromise image quality.

--Open a pic in Wordpad. Look on the top line to the right. It will say what version it is.

Well not like a typical printer but the results are comparable. Longevity is another issue.

I had some prints made (before I knew about Walmart) at two online commercial printers and then had some people compare those to the same image printed on my Epson 870. They all picked the Epson as the best looking print.

I use a Lexmark Z12, it does a god job for a $30 printer. The DPi is only 1200x1200, and it is not "labeled" photo printer. It is a low resolution, not 2400x1200. That is why I do not notice a difference, so it is not in my best interest to waste space on my 128mg card for that.
