Guide to Selecting the Number of Pixels
For high-quality printing or to give priority to image quality, choose a large number of pixels (image size). For
files you want to send as e-mail attachments, choose a small image size to keep the file size small.
The number of shots that can be taken is smaller if the number of pixels is large, and larger if the number of
pixels is small.
It is also possible to further reduce the number of pixels in an image after shooting. (
