Image Size

Set to j, k, l or mMd(Shooting menu) MImage size

Choose the size of pictures in pixels for recording.

The larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.

Conversely, pictures shot at smaller sizes require less memory, making them suited to distribution by e-mail or the web.
