Image Size
The image-size menu controls the physical
dimensions of the image, measured in pixels.
Smaller sizes require less space to store, making
them suited to distribution by e-mail and the web.
Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the
size at which it can be printed without becoming
noticeably “grainy.” Choose an image size according to the space
available on the CF memory card and the task at hand.
Image size can be adjusted from the SET-UP menu and the “Image
Size & Quality” sub-menu in the CSM shooting menu (p. 134). Changes
to image size in any of these menus apply to all modes.
The image-size menu contains the following options:
Option

the SMALL PIC. button. See p. 76
Print Size
The size of images when printed depends on the resolution of the printer (the
higher the resolution, the smaller the final print size). The following table shows how
images of different sizes will print at a resolution of 200 dpi (supported by most
household inkjet printers).
