| to print pictures. |
|
|
|
| 1MP | 1296 x 976 | The captured image will be 1/4 size |

The Pictures remaining count at the bottom of the screen updates when you highlight each setting. See Memory Card Capacity on page 141 for more information about how the Resolution setting affects the number of images that can be saved on your memory card.
The icon for the new setting (in the table above) will appear in the Live View screen. The new setting remains in effect (even if you turn the camera off) until it is changed again.
NOTE When you use digital zoom, the resolution changes as you zoom in. See Digital Zoom on page 31.
