Image Quality and Size

Together, image quality (the amount of compression) and size determine how much space each photograph occupies on the memory card. Before shooting, choose image quality and image size according to how you plan to use the photograph and the capacity of the memory card. Larger, higher quality images can be printed at larger sizes but also require more memory, meaning that fewer such images can be recorded on the memory card.
