Shooting Options: The Shooting Menu r Image Size Choose the size of pictures in pixels for recording. Pictures shot at smaller sizes require less memory, making them suited to distribution by e-mail or the web. Conversely, 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.
