You can set the image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded.

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, small image sizes are suitable for pictures attached to e-mails or used on web pages. However, printing small images in large print sizes results in the image turning “grainy.”

	Options*	Description
i	4608×3456	Record pictures with finer detail than those shot at E3264×2448
	(default setting)	or L2272×1704.
E 3264×2448		Good balance between file size and quality; suitable in most
L 2272×1704		situations.
