* “M” stands for “Mega.”
• The above print sizes are all approximate values when
printing at a resolution of 200 dpi (dots per inch). Use a
larger setting when you want to print at a higher
resolution or when you plan to produce a larger size print.
• In order to obtain the level of resolution for which your
camera is designed, recording at a maximum image size
(6M) is recommended. Use a smaller image size when
you want to conserve memory capacity.
• Selecting the “2816

images with a 3:2 (horizontal:vertical) aspect ratio, which
is optimal for printing on photographic paper with an
aspect ratio of 3:2.

Specifying Image Size
“Image size” is the size of the image, expressed as the
number of vertical and horizontal pixels. A “pixel” is one of
the many tiny dots that make up the image. More pixels
provide finer detail when an image is printed, but a higher
pixel count also causes the image’s file size to be larger.
You can select an image size to suit your needs for greater
detail or smaller file size.
• Note that this setting is valid for snapshots only. For
information about movie image size, see page 108.
