Setting the picture size and quality
The camera resolution (picture size) and quality settings determine the
number of pixels (dimensions), picture file size, and compression
ratio for your pictures. These settings affect the number of pictures
that can be stored on a memory card. As you become more familiar
with your camera, we recommended that you try each resolution
and quality setting to understand the effects that these settings have
on your pictures.

■ 2816 x 2112 – approximately 6 megapixels

To learn more about the definition for megapixels, see the FAQ
“Q: What does the term megapixel mean?” on page 74.
