Changing image size affects the number of pixels in
each image. The greater the image size, the larger
the file size. Choose image size based on the final
use of the image - smaller images will be more
suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will
produce higher quality prints. Image size must be set
before the picture is taken. Image size is set in the
basic section of the recording-mode menu
(p. 28).
Three image sizes are available: 1600 X 1200
(UXGA), 1280 X 960 (SXGA), and 640 X 480 (VGA).
Image size is defined by the image’s horizontal and
vertical dimensions in pixels. The selected image-size
setting is displayed on the LCD monitor by the
horizontal dimension only.
If the image size is changed, the frame counter will display the approximate number of images that
can be recorded at that setting on the installed memory card. One memory card can contain images
with differing sizes.
