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 image size is shown by the number of
pixels (dots) (horizontal × vertical), which
compose an image. For example, a 5M
(2592×1944) size image indicates that there
are 2592 pixels horizontally and 1944
pixels vertically. The larger the number of
pixels, the larger the image size.
You can select from Fine (high quality) or
Standard image quality. Each uses a
different compression ratio.
When you select Fine, the image quality
improves as the image size increases, but
the amount of recorded data also increases
and the number of images that can be
recorded on a “Memory Stick” decreases.
Refer to the table on the right and choose
the image size and image quality
appropriate to the kind of images you want
to shoot.
