The Shooting Menu (The Common Shooting Options)
Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
Select the combination of image size and compression ratio to be used when saving 
images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed, and 
the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality of the images, but the number 
of images that can be saved is reduced.
The setting is also applied to other shooting modes.
* The numerical values indicate the number of pixels that are captured.
Example: P 4608×3456 = approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
