r Image Size
Choose the size of pictures in pixels for recording. Pictures shot at smaller sizes
require less memory, making them suited to distribution by e-mail or the web.
Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or
displayed without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures
that can be recorded.
Image size is shown by an icon in the monitor (A 6, 7).
