Image Size
You can set the JPEG image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded with an
image quality of Fine, Normal or Basic.
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.
Conversely, small image sizes are suitable for pictures attached to e-mails or used
on web pages. However, printing small images in large print sizes results in the
image turning “grainy.”
The setting for the image size is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during
shooting and playback (A6 to 8).
C Notes on Image Size Setting
• Can be set from the quick menu dial even in shooting modes other than A, B, C and D (except
for movie mode).
• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for low noise night mode, and
shooting modes E, F and N).
• In low noise night mode, the available image size is C 2048×1536 or smaller.
• The size of JPEG images can be chosen when you create JPEG images from NRW (RAW) images
using NRW (RAW) processing (A143) (up to a maximum of 3648×2736 pixels).
•Image size for the JPEG image can be set when NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal or
NRW (RAW) + Basic is selected. However, note that I 3648×2432, z 3584×2016 and
H 2736×2736 cannot be selected.
• This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. See “Functions that Cannot be
Applied Simultaneously” (A108) for more information.
See “Setting the Image Quality and the Image Size” (A73) for more information.
