•Selecting 3:2 (3072 × 2048 pixels) records images with an aspect ratio of 3:2, which matches the standard aspect ratio (3:2) of print paper.

•VGA (640 × 480 pixels) is the optimum size when attaching images to e-mail.

•Print paper sizes should be thought of as rough estimates only (200 dpi print resolution).

•The letters “HDTV” stand for “High Definition Television”. An HDTV screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which makes them wider than the usual 4:3 aspect ratio of television screens of the past. Your camera can record images that are compatible with the aspect ratio of an HDTV screen.
