Changing the Image Quality and Image Size

You can set the image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded.
The larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed 
without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures that can be 
recorded.
Conversely, small image sizes are suitable for pictures attached to e-mails or used 
on web pages. However, printing small images in large print sizes results in the 
image turning “grainy.”

* The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and 

vertically.
Example: i 4608 × 3456 = 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
