TIPS
• Resolution
The number of pixels (horizontal x vertical) used when saving an image.
If the image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are
recommended so that the image will be clearer. However, higher
resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the number of
pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
• Resolution and picture size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on
the computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor
setting. For instance, a picture taken in 1024 x 768 resolution is the
same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1x when the monitor
setting is 1024 x 768. However, if the monitor setting is over 1024 x 768
(such as 1280 x 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
