You can choose image size (number of pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on the kind of images you want to shoot. The larger you make the image size and the higher you make the image quality, the better your image, but also the larger the amount of data needed to preserve your image. This means you can save fewer images in your “Memory Stick.”
Choose an image size and quality level appropriate for the kind of images you want to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize function, see page 66).
You can choose image size from among the four options in the following tables.

1600×1200 Printing A4 size images
1600 (3:2) 3:2 prints*
1280×960 Printing postcard size images
640×480 For images to be attached to e- mail

•The image size is the screen size used when viewing the images on a computer. When the images are viewed on the LCD screen of the camera, they all look the same size.
•Number of shooting images can differ from these values according to shooting conditions.
•The image size value (e.g., 1600×1200) is the number of pixels displayed.
*This option records images in a horizontal to vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of the print paper used.
