Image size and quality You can choose image size (number of pixels) and image quality (compression ratio) based on the kind of images you want to shoot. The larger you make the image size and the higher you make the image quality, the better your image, but also the larger the amount of data needed to preserve your image. This means you can save fewer images in your "Memory Stick." Choose an image size and quality level appropriate for the kind of images you want to shoot. You can resize the images later (Resize function, see page 66). You can choose image size from among the four options in the following tables.
