Image Mode Settings (Image Size and Quality)
You can select the combination of image size and compression ratio that is used when saving
images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed, but the
number of images that can be saved (E41) is reduced.
1
The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and
vertically.
Example: P 4608×3456 = approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
2
Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi. Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of
pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image
size, images printed at higher resolutions will print smaller than the size indicated, and those
printed at lower resolutions will print larger than the size indicated.
