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.

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.

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).
