Changing the Image Quality and Image Size

Image Size

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 (A74).

1The total number of pixels captured and the number of pixels captured horizontally and vertically.

Example: r4896×3672 = Approx. 18 megapixels, 4896 × 3672 pixels

2The print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.

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

CImage Size Setting
