.Pixels and image size

A digital camera image is a collection of small

 

 

 

Pixel

 

 

dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are

 

 

 

 

 

in an image, the more detail there will be.

 

 

 

 

 

However, you generally can do with fewer

 

 

 

 

 

pixels when printing an image (L size)

 

 

 

 

 

through a print service, attaching an image to

 

 

 

 

 

e-mail, when viewing the image on a

 

 

 

 

 

computer, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The size of an image indicates how many

 

 

 

vertical pixels.

pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels

 

 

 

 

 

x

Example:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Image size

pixels

 

 

 

 

 

12M

4000x3000 (Approximately 12 million pixels)

 

 

 

 

5M

2560x1920 (Approximately 5 million pixels)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
