Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
You can select the combination of image size and image quality (i.e., image compression
ratio) that is used when saving images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which images can be printed, and
the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality of the images, but the number of
images that can be saved (
25) is reduced.
1
The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and vertically.
Example:
P
4608×3456
= approx. 16 megapixels, 4608×3456 pixels
2
Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.
Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and
multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image size, images printed at higher
resolutions will be printed smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions
will be printed larger than the size indicated.
