Resolution (image size)
This refers to the number of pixels (horizontal × vertical) used when saving an image. If the
image will be printed, higher resolutions (larger numbers) are recommended so that the image
will be clearer. However, higher resolutions make the file size (amount of data) larger, so the
number of pictures that can be saved will be fewer.
Resolution and image size on a computer screen
When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the computer screen
varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For instance, a picture taken in
1024 × 768 pixel resolution is the same size as the screen if you set the picture to 1× (100%)
when the monitor setting is 1024 × 768. However, if the monitor setting is greater than
1024 × 768 (such as 1280 × 1024), the picture only takes up part of the screen.
