Camera Pictures to Email Questions

[Sysliana]

Why are the pictures that I sent to my email 2-3MB?! I have the settings on the smallest possible but when I email them they are 2-3MB. But when I send videos it converts them to about 1.2MB.. Videos are smaller then pictures? Is there anyway I can make the pictures smaller? Those are HUGE pictures and taking up so much room!

Are you geo tagging your pictures? If so the location information is being embedded in them making them bigger.

No, Im not.. I clicked the picture, clicked edit: advanced: Resize: and its on Very Small.

Then I clicked Share: Email: Entered my email address and it sent. Thats all I did. When it arrives in my email its 2-3MB

Well just sent one to myself and I have it set to take 8mp pictures and mine was the same size 2mb. Not sure what they means for you, and I don't geo tag.

How big are your pics when they get to your email?

 

[Sydman]

Same size 2mb

And theres no way to make them smaller? I mean, when I sent pictures from my old Iphone (before I got the droid) they were only like 1000KB, waaaay smaller
