Image Size
You can set the image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded.
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 (
A74).
1
The total number of pixels captured and the number of pixels captured horizontally and
vertically.
Example: r 4896×3672 = Approx. 18 megapixels, 4896 × 3672 pixels
2
The print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.
Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by the printer resolution (dpi)
and multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, even with the same image size setting, images
printed at higher resolutions print smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at
lower resolutions print larger than the size indicated.
