SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Changing the Image Size
A digital camera image is a collection of small dots (pixels).
The size of an image indicates how many pixels it contains, and
is expressed as horizontal pixels × vertical pixels. The initial
factory default image size setting is 10M (3648 × 2736 pixels).
Note that a larger image takes up more memory.
• For information about image size, image quality, and number
of images that can be stored, see page 241.
This setting applies to snapshots only.
