I am going to a wedding and I am not sure what setting I should put it on, I am just trying to figure out what the best thing is to do!

640x480 may look nice on your screen, but don't try to print it any larger than 3"x2" or you'll get "stairstepping"

1. At 600x480, you'll have a black band at the top and bottom of your picture. I think you're using 640x480 :)

2. It'll look OK on the monitor, but it'll look like ass if you print it out. Here's a handy guide:

1 MP: 3x5 print
2 MP: 5x7 print
3 MP: 8x10 print
4 MP: 10x13 print

(MP being Megapixel. 640x480= .5 MP)

On the sides, not on the top/bottom.
