Image Size

Image size refers to the physical dimensions of the image, measured in pixels. Smaller sizes require less space to store, making them suited to distri- bution by e-mail and the web. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without becoming noticeably “grainy.” Choose an image size according to the space avail- able on the memory card and the task at hand.

Print Size

The size of pictures when printed depends on the resolution of the printer (the higher the resolution, the smaller the final print size).
