Changing the Image Quality and Image Size

Sh
ooting Feat

ures

You can set the JPEG image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded with an 
image quality of Fine, Normal or Basic.
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: M 

3648×2736 = 10 megapixels, 3648×2736 pixels

C

• The setting for the image size is shown by an icon displayed on the monitor during shooting and 

playback (

A8 to 10).

• The setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except for low noise night mode, and 

shooting modes 

E, F and N).

• In low noise night mode, the available image size is C 2

048×1536 or smaller.

• The size of JPEG images can be chosen when you create JPEG images from NRW (RAW) images 

using NRW (RAW) processing (

E17) (up to a maximum of 3648 × 2736 pixels).

• Image size for the JPEG image can be set when NRW (RAW) + Fine, NRW (RAW) + Normal or 

NRW (RAW) + Basic is selected. However, note that I 

3648×2432, z 3584×2016 and 

H 2

736×2736 cannot be selected.

• This feature may not be used in combination with certain features. See “Features That Cannot Be 

A80) for more information.
