Choose the size of pictures in pixels for recording.
Pictures shot at smaller sizes require less memory, making them suited to
distribution by e-mail or the web.
Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or
displayed without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures
that can be recorded.
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and playback
modes (
A8 to 10).
