r Image Size
Choose the size (pixel count) for the pictures recorded.
Pictures shot at large sizes require more memory and are suitable for printing, but
the number of shots that can be taken will be fewer.
Small image sizes are suitable for pictures that will be distributed by e-mail or used
in web pages. However, printing small images at large print sizes will result in the
image turning “grainy”.
The Image size setting is shown by an icon in the monitor during shooting or
playback (
A8, 9).

Note on the Image Size Setting
• The image size setting is applied to the auto shooting mode, scene modes, and A, B, C, and D
modes simultaneously (Multi-shot 16 ( A140) is excluded).
• Image size cannot be set for images with Image quality ( A124) set to NRW (RAW).
• The image size of JPEG images can be set when the image quality is set to NRW (RAW) + Fine,
NRW (RAW) + Normal, or NRW (RAW) + Basic. However, I 4224×2816, G 4224×2376 and
H 3168×3168 cannot be selected.
• The image size of JPEG images created using NRW (RAW) processing ( A72) can be chosen for
recorded NRW (RAW) images (up to a maximum of 4224×3168 pixels).
