I just got my first digital camera. Why are the pics so big when I send them as attachments?

Answer 1

the setting in the camera is on a high setting, change the settings per the instructions of your camera, the instrucition should tell you what setting is the best

Answer 2

What you need to do is adjust the settings on the your camera. For instance, my new one has at least 5 different settings, each is so many MBs (and don't ask me to get too technical because that is not my strong poing)...the highest resolution takes up the most space on my camera's memory, but there one setting where it specifically says it's good for email. Check your owner's manual to determine how to get to and change these settings.

Answer 3

High resolution photos are large files. You can lower the resolution "in-camera" by setting it to VGA, however, you won't be able to print them. You're better off getting computer software to do the job so that you can have the best of both worlds, great prints and e-mail capability.

Answer 4

Hey. You can go onto photobucket.com and make an account (its free) you can upload all your pictures onto an album and then you can edit the pictures to whatever size you want. Then after that right click on whichever picture and click on save picture as. Then save the picture and go into your email and compose. Then click on "attach files" and click on browse. After that click "continue to message" and then your done.

Answer 5

good luck
