• Available image sizes are limited for some functions as noted below.
. Pixels and image size
A digital camera image is a collection of small
dots called “pixels”. The more pixels there are
in an image, the more detail there will be.
However, you generally can do with fewer
pixels when printing an image (L size) through
a print service, attaching an image to e-mail,
when viewing the image on a computer, etc.
The size of an image indicates how many
pixels it contains, and is expressed as
horizontal pixels
x
vertical pixels.
Example:
• Note that larger images have more pixels, so they take up more memory space.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number of images that can be
stored, see page 222.
• For information about movie image size, see page 111.
• For information about resizing existing snapshots, see page 150.
RAW+JPEG
This option can be selected only when shooting snapshots in the
modes below. Selecting a mode other than one included below
while “RAW+JPEG” is selected will cause shooting to be
performed with the “12M” image size.
Program Auto, A (Aperture AE) mode, S (Shutter Speed AE)
mode, M (Manual Exposure) mode
3:2, 16:9
These image sizes cannot be selected when using “High Speed
CS”, “AF CS” or “HS Night Shot”. Selecting “3:2” or “16:9” in
another mode and then switching to “High Speed CS”, “AF CS” or
“HS Night Shot” will cause the image size to change to “12M”
automatically.
