A Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
You can use the Image mode setting in the shooting menu to select the
combination of image size and compression rate that is used when saving images.
Choose the image mode best suited to the manner in which images will be used
and the capacity of the internal memory or memory card. The higher the image
mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed without
appearing noticeably “grainy,” but limiting the number of images that can be
recorded.
* The total number of pixels recorded, and the number of pixels recorded horizontally and
vertically.
Example: P 4608×3456 = Approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
