Shooting still images
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
appropriate for the kind of images you
want to shoot.
You can resize the images later (Resize
function, see page 71).
You can choose image size from the
following tables.

The image size is the screen size used when
viewing the images on a personal computer.
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., 2048×1536) is the
number of pixels displayed.
For information how to shoot images to be
used as attachments to e-mail messages,
see page 65.
* This option records images in a horizontal to
vertical proportion of 3:2 to match the size of
the print paper used.
