Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size and the greater the pixel resolution. Choose image size based on the final use of the image – smaller images will be more suitable for web sites whereas larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.
Image size must be set before the picture is taken; image size is displayed on the data panel. The image size will remain in effect until reset. One memory card can contain images with differing sizes.

ABOUT THE FRAME COUNTER
The frame counter indicates the approximate number of images that can be stored on the memory card at the camera’s image size setting. If the setting is changed, the frame counter adjusts accord- ingly. Because the calculation is based on average file sizes, the actual image taken may not change the counter or may decrease it by more than one. The actual storage capacity is determined by the size of the images and the rate of compression; some subjects can be compressed further than others
When the frame counter displays a single zero, no more images at the current image size can be captured, but setting a smaller size will allow more images to be taken. If three zeros are displayed on the frame counter, no more images at any size can be captured.
The frame counter cannot exceed 999. When the number of recordable images exceeds this, 999 will be displayed.
