Image size and quality
You can choose image size (number of
pixels) and image quality (compression
ratio) based on the kind of images you want
to shoot. The larger you make the image
size and the higher you make the image
quality, the better your image, but also the
larger the amount of data needed to preserve
your image. This means you can save fewer
images in your “Memory Stick.”
Choose an image size and quality level
appropriately for the kind of images you
want to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize
function, see page 59).
You can choose image size from among the
five options in the following tables.
1)This option records images in a horizontal to
vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of
the print paper used.
Image size Examples
2272×1704 Very fine prints
2272 (3:2) 3:2 prints
1)
1600×1200 Printing A5 size images

2)When [REC MODE] is set to [NORMAL]
For the number of images that can be saved in
other modes, see page 92.
When the images are viewed on the LCD
screen of the camera, they all look the same
size.
Number of shooting images can differ from
these values according to shooting conditions.
The image size value (e.g., 2272×1704) is the
number of pixels displayed.
When the remaining number of images
recordable is more than 9999, “>9999” is
indicated.
