Changing the Image Quality and Image Size
Shooting Features
Available Image Size
You can set the JPEG image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded with an
image quality of Fine or Normal.
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 total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and
vertically.
Example: F 4000×3000 = 12 megapixels, 4000 × 3000 pixels
C Image Size Setting
• The setting for the image size is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during shooting and
playback (A12 to 15).
• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for shooting modes E, F and N).
• The size of JPEG images can be chosen when you create JPEG images from NRW (RAW) images
using NRW (RAW) processing (A94) (up to a maximum of 4000 × 3000 pixels).
•Image size for the JPEG image can be set when NRW (RAW) + Fine or NRW (RAW) + Normal is
selected. However, note that I 3984×2656, u 3968×2232 and H3000×3000 cannot be
selected.
• Some features cannot be used in combination with other menu settings. See “Features Not
Available in Combination” (A79) for more information.
