Reference—Image Quality and Size

Image Size

Image size is measured in pixels. Smaller sizes produce smaller files, making them suited to distribution via e-mail or inclusion in web pages. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose image size according to the space available on the memory card and the task at hand.

Image size	Size (pixels)	Approximate size when printed at 200 dpi
Large (3872×2592/10.0M)	3,872 × 2,592	49.2 × 32.9 cm (19.36 × 12.96 in.)
Medium (2896×1944/5.6M)	2,896 × 1,944	36.8	× 24.7 cm (14.48	× 9.72 in.)
Small (1936×1296/2.5M)	1,936 × 1,296	24.6	× 16.5 cm (9.68	× 6.48 in.)

Image size can be set using the Image Size option in the shooting menu or by pressing the QUAL button and rotating the sub-command dial. Note that the option selected does not affect the size of NEF (RAW) images. When viewed on a computer using the supplied software or Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (available separately), NEF images are 3,872 × 2,592 pixels in size.
