Changing the Image Quality and Image Size Available Image Size Display the shooting screen M d button (A13) M Shooting menu M 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."
