Image size and image quality

Changing image size affects the number of pixels in each image. The greater the image size, the larger the file size. Choose image size based on the final use of the image – smaller images will be more suit- able for web sites whereas larger sizes will produce higher quality prints.

Data panel	LCD monitor	Number of pixels		Image size
		(hor. X vert.)
	2272	2272	X 1704	FULL
	1600	1600	X 1200	UXGA
	1280	1280 X 960		SXGA
	640	640	X 480	VGA

Image quality controls the rate of compression, but has no effect on the number of pixels in the image. The higher the image quality, the lower the rate of compression and the larger the file sizes. If the economical use of the memory card is important, use the economy mode. Standard image quality is sufficient for normal usage. The super-fine mode will produce the highest quality image and the largest image files. Depending on image size, when capturing super-fine images, a delay of up to fifty seconds can occur as the image is saved to the memory card; the monitors will be blank and the access lamp will glow during that period.
