Guidelines for selecting image dimensions (pixels) and quality
Select large image dimensions when you want to print a high quality picture or when you want
to emphasize the quality of the image. When sending an image as an e-mail attachment,
decrease the size of the file by selecting image dimensions. To emphasize picture quality, set
the image quality to [FINE]. In other cases, use [NORMAL] to keep image files small and
increase the number of recordable images.
