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.

Option	Size (pixels)	Size when printed at 200 dpi (approx.)
L (3008×2000) 3,008 × 2,000		38	× 25 cm (15˝ × 10˝)
M (2240×1488)	2,240 × 1,488	28	× 19 cm (11˝ × 7.5˝)
S (1504×1000)	1,504 × 1,000	19	× 13 cm (7.5˝ × 5˝)

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. Image size can not be selected when NEF (Raw) or NEF+JPEG Basic is selected for image quality. When opened in the software provided with the camera or in Nikon Capture 4 version 4.1 or later, NEF images are 3,008 × 2,000 pixels in size. When NEF+JPEG Basic is selected for image quality ( 41), the size of the JPEG image is fixed at L (3,008 × 2,000 pixels).
