You can select the combination of image size and image quality (i.e., image compression ratio) that is used when saving images.

The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which images can be printed, and the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality of the images, but the number of images that can be saved (E23) is reduced.

Option1	Compression ratio	Aspect ratio	Print size2 (cm/in.)
w5152×3864P	Approx. 1:4	4:3	44 × 33/17 × 12.5
x5152×3864 (default setting)	Approx. 1:8	4:3	44 × 33/17 × 12.5
i3648×2736	Approx. 1:8	4:3	31 × 23/12 × 9
r2272×1704	Approx. 1:8	4:3	19 × 14/7.5 × 5.6
q1600×1200	Approx. 1:8	4:3	13	× 10/5.3 × 4
O640×480	Approx. 1:8	4:3	5	× 4/2 × 1.5

1The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and vertically. Example: x5152×3864 = approx. 20 megapixels, 5152 × 3864 pixels

2Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.

Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image size, images printed at higher resolutions will be printed smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions will be printed larger than the size indicated.
