Set the aspect ratio to 3:2 for prints with more of the original image. You can also select from six recorded pixels settings for each aspect ratio. The larger your recorded pixels, the finer the details will appear when you print your picture. The quality of the printed picture depends on the image quality, exposure control, resolution of the printer and other factors; therefore, you do not need select more than the required number of recorded pixels. 1024×768 is sufficient for printing a postcard-size print. The more pixels there are, the larger the picture and the bigger the file size. The data volume also varies depending on the quality level setting (1p.93).
