I have a Sony DSC-HX200V camera that's quite a few years old now. Typically, the pictures taken using it have been about 800 KB - 1.1 MB. Recently, inadvertantly, I ended up in the settings menu, and getting back out of that I seem to have changed something. Pictures taken now are enormous: 4.5 to 8MB. Is there a way to change something in settings to restore picture size back to where it was? I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks, and wonder if I will run out of memory space in the...

Just a bit of a rant really. Me and a mate went chasing the Steam dreams Christmas circular today, never seen such a load of absolute cr*p. Hanging out towards the end of the platform, no problem, as it arrived. Walked down to take a photo of Braunton and was greeted with barriers and some seriously power hungry station staff. Apparently taking photos is a safety concern now??! We were not the only ones as another group was also being yelled at Its a real shame to be honest, as the crew... Read more ..read more
