About image sizes
The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as
horizontal pixels
x
vertical pixels.
Image Size Selection Tips
Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 173.
• For information about movie image size, see page 39.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 106.
