That size that is being recorded is the default large pixel dimensions giving you the 17x11. You can reduce the pixel dimensions to something smaller like the medium and small settings, but you loose detail. You are better off using a photo editor to crop to the correct size on a computer like Photoshop Elements, Photoshop, Microsoft Picture editor and more.

Just about any photo kiosk at a mall or printing lab will auto crop to the size requested regardless of how big the file is. I always crop to the right size in Photoshop to submit my files online to a lab.

This may not be the solution; however, please obtain a larger capacity memory card.
A 2GB card will give you several hundred photos. Cost is less than $10.
You really should not lower the resolution. you will lose detail that you may want in the future (really). (4GB card will hold over 999 pictures - $15)
If you must lower the resolution, press "Menu" and use the arrows to move the highlight bar to "resolution" ... change it to a lower number like 6MP. keep the "FINE" setting in place (if your model has that setting) or maybe "BEST".
Do not use "RAW" - (very large pix).
Hope this helps!

How to transfer photos to gmail from the nikon p250 camera

Load the picture files onto your computer first. Open gmail and add pictures to your email by clicking on attachment/ photo and direct software to the directory where you stored your photos. Be aware that photo files are large and most email programs have a file size limitation. You can adjust the resolution done to lower file size so it depends on how you want to send the file. Typically I send 3-5 photos at a time. If you want to send large amounts of photos, use Dropbox software.

I have a datatraveler 4gb stick how many photo will it hold

That is not exactly to calculate. It depends on the stored image sizeand quality.
Small pictures could be 400KB a piece, but large ones easily can go up to 6GB
a piece. If you know thye avaerage size of your pictures, you can calculate it.

I take photos but display in the computer photo size is post card size, how to make little big picture

The size of a picture/photo depends on the resolution that you have set on the photo capturing source(webcam, Digicam etc). So you need to increase the resolution as much as possible to increase the size and quality on the photo. It will also increase the space required to store it.

Hope this will help.....cheers:)

Hello, My camera had been taking photos under a file size of 1 MB, normally 800 KB. Today for some inexplicable reason (I must have done something!), the photo file size is 4MB, too large to send and use...

On your camera, look for settings. You must have set it on "Large" or "Max" picture quality. Thus making your 'normal' 800kb into a more better quality.

On your laptop/computer try to open it in a image editor and change the resolution of the picture.

I click on upload and try to type in location of photo but the type does not show. I previously went to Documents, then My Pictures and clicked on the chosen photo. I have no problem sending photos via...

Make sure you are using the uploader provided with facebook, verify that your photo size is allowed and that may help. Many newer high resolution cameras take a very hi resolution picture, and as a result the photo has too large of a file size. Download Jasc painshop pro free, or other photo editing software and try to reduce the file size of your photo. You can also reduce the pixel count from your camera before you shoot. Also remember that, the larger your file size the slower the picture will load. This will make it hard for friends and family to view your picture due to long download times.

My Canon Powershot SD950 IS only allows me to take 8 photos at a time before it tells me that the memory is full. It is the original memory card it came with (32 mb) and it has done this since I first got...

There is nothing wrong with your camera. When you set the resolution to Large and compression to Fine, each picture needs about 3M space. So for a 32M SD card, you can take about 9 pictures. To take more pictures, you can set to low resolution and high compression which means that you’ll lost the picture quality; or use bigger size memory card. I would like to suggest you to buy a bigger card to keep the picture quality.
A chat on page 219 of user manual shows the estimated capacities of memory cards.

Reduce photo size

If you want to take lower resolution photos, it's pretty simple.

Go into the Menu on your camera, and look for "Quality".
Canon does "Large" "Medium" or "Small", if you change to "Small", you'll fit more images on your memory card.

However, "small" will make the photos not look as good as "large", keep that in mind.

My samsung l100 memory is full after 4 photo ? i have no memory card

you have your "picture size" set too large. In the pic settings you can change it to take more or less pictures, depending on the quality you want. A better photo will take more memory. If you don't want to print your photos, put your setting on smaller size, and you will be able too shoot all day.

What is the best picture size setting to use for general use with a non SLR digital camera using the fine or super fine setting?

Super Fine picture file size needs more space in memory card where as Fine picture file requires less. Its up to you, if you have big memory card, shoot pictures in S.Fine mode.
Generaly, Fine picture mode is being used to take more n more pictures.
