Setting a picture size and quality that Q matches your use of the pictures

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.
