Reference-Advanced Photography Image Size The image-size menu controls the physical dimensions of the image, measured in pixels. Smaller sizes require less space to store, making them suited to distribution by e-mail and the web. Conversely, the larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed without becoming noticeably "grainy." Choose an image size according to the space available on the memor y card and the task at hand.
