SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
NOTE
•
You also can change the image size setting using the
menu that appears when you press [MENU] (pages 49,
215).
•
The following information changes on the display during
the image size selection operation.
– Image size in megabytes (M) (3M, etc.)
– Image size in pixels (2048 × 1536, etc.)
– Optimum print paper size
•
Selecting 3:2 (3072 × 2048 pixels) records images with an
aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the standard aspect ratio
(3:2) of print paper.
•
The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An
HDTV screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them
wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of television screens of
the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible
with the aspect ratio of an HDTV screen.
•
VGA (640 × 480 pixels) is the optimum size when attaching
images to e-mail.
•
Print paper sizes should be thought of as rough estimates
only (200 dpi print resolution).
