Image size and quality
You can choose image size (number of
pixels) and image quality (compression
ratio) based on the kind of images you want
to shoot. The larger you make the image
size and the higher you make the image
quality, the better your image, but also the
larger the amount of data needed to preserve
your image. This means you can save fewer
images in your “Memory Stick.”
Choose an image size and quality level
appropriate for the kind of images you want
to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize
function, page 72).
You can choose image size from among the
five options in the following tables. The
below image size is a minimum setting for
examples. When you want to improve
image quality, select the larger image size.
* This option records images in a horizontal to
vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of
the print paper used.

2560×1920 Very fine prints
2560 (3:2) 3:2 prints*
2048×1536 Printing A4 size images
1280×960 Printing postcard size images

images is greater than 9999, the >9999
indicator appears on the LCD screen.
