A digital picture is made of numerous dots called pixels. Although you cannot see the difference on the camera’s screen, the more the pixels the finer the picture will be when it is printed on a large piece of paper or displayed on a computer monitor. Picture quality refers to the compression rate when saving digital pictures.

∫Number of pixels
When you select a larger picture size [ 
] (7.4 million pixels), you can print pictures clearly.
If a small number of pixels [ 
] (3 million pixels) is selected, the size of the data will be small, so more pictures can be recorded.
•The number of pixels that can be selected differs depending on the aspect ratio. Refer to P79 for information about the aspect ratio settings.
