Getting Started
Choose the number of pixels (size) and quality level (data compression
rate) of pictures according to how you intend to use the pictures you have
taken.
Pictures with larger recorded pixels or more Es are clearer when printed.
The number of pictures that can be taken (the number of pictures that can
be recorded on an SD Memory Card) becomes less with larger file sizes.
The quality of the captured photo or printed picture depends on the quality
level, exposure control, resolution of the printer and a variety of other
factors so you do not need to select more than the required number of
pixels. For example, to print in postcard size,
R
(1536×1024) is
adequate. Set the appropriate recorded size and quality level depending
on purpose.
Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and quality level for
images on the [A Rec. Mode] menu.
