Specifying Image Size

A digital camera image is a collection of small dots (pixels). The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and is expressed as horizontal pixels × vertical pixels. The initial factory default image size setting is 7M (3072 × 2304 pixels). Note that a larger image takes up more memory.

For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be stored, see page 269.

This setting applies to snapshots only.

For information about movie image size, see page 91.
