BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Specifying Image Size

“Image size” is the size of the image, expressed as the number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “pixel” is one of the many tiny dots that make up the image. More pixels provide finer detail when an image is printed, but a higher pixel count also causes the image’s file size to be larger. You can select an image size to suit your needs for greater detail or smaller file size.

•Note that this setting is valid for snapshots only. For information about movie image size, see page 111.

•When selecting the image size, the image size value (pixels) will alternate on the display with a corresponding print size. The print size indicates the optimum paper size when you print an image that is the image size you select.
