Recorded Pixels and Image Quality

Set recorded image size (the number of pixels) and quality to suit the intended purpose for the image. The higher the numbers for recorded image size and the more stars in the ratings for image quality, the clearer the image when printed. However, because image storage volume increases, the number of shots that can be captured decreases. Settings for pixel size and image quality are configured on the [Rec.Mode] menu.
